The twins enter middle school and struggle to navigate the new social structure and their relationship. I loved this story! It felt very true to life.

This was a great graphic novel. This was a bout twins that are in 6th Grade. They are both running for Student President. It was neat reading a graphic novel like this since I have twins in my family! I loved how into everything the author got. It was nice actually seeing real family problems in a kids book. I love when they do that because they show kids that there are some real solutions to real problems. The only reason I couldn't give it that last star is because I felt like there was some family traits throughout the book that I didn't like.

When one twin moves towards an individual identity the other suffers a bit of a crisis.
A well-written, thoughtful story with excellent illustrations.

The audiobook adaptation of this graphic novel is absolutely delightful! It’s read by a full cast and they’ve added additional sound effects and music to really bring the story to life. I highly recommend this for when you’re in the car with kids.

A Fun & Relatable Read
Twins is a fun and relatable read, with excellent illustrations. Seeing POC captured in graphic novel form with such beautiful coloring was very inspiring. The storyline was good and easy for anyone with siblings or close friends to relate to, even if you aren’t a twin. Varian Johnson does it again. Hopefully we will see more graphic novels from him in the future.

I don't know what is going on in my brain but I started crying at the end of this book. This lovely graphic novel captures what is means to be sisters, to be twins, and to struggle with your identity. The girls are feisty and show their emotions to each other and the people around them, but at the end of the day they love each other so much!! This was such an excellent book.

So many great things about this graphic novel!
Loved that it was set in Texas - seeing the flag on one of the first pages was an instant hook for this Texan :)
Johnson really captured the transition from elementary school to middle school. We are experiencing that this year and it's a doozy.
I agreed with the parents decision to separate the twins, especially at Francine's request, but they should have told Maureen. Granted, you don't get much story arc that way but it seemed like a parent mishap.
I loved the twins love for each other as they navigate life together and apart.
Looking forward to more from Johnson, especially if he continues this series!
