I was very happy to see a graphic novel with a main character(s) who are black. Very happy to have this book as part of my classroom library!

Great combination of award-winning author and up-and-coming illustrator create a fun, engaging story of identical twins starting 6th grade who encounter challenges while establishing their own identities. Read my full review here:

super cute! I'm a twin and even though he is a boy and i'm a girl there were things that were very relatable in this story!

Cute middle grade graphic novel that touches on a myriad of topics (sibling rivalry, families, anxiety, racism) without being heavy handed about it. At the center is the relationship between twin sisters making their way through a new year in the 6th grade.

Loved the illustration style on this one and the story was good too. I really felt for Maureen but could understand Francine wanting to be her own person
