TWINS by Varian Johnson & Shannon Wright

 

Middle school isn't easy and having a twin doesn't help. Maureen and Francine had always been best friends, but the day middle starts things change.

Francine suddenly wants to be called Fran, and Maureen finds herself in different classes and even a different lunch period than her sister. What's going on?

When it is revealed that their parents made the decision that the girls would have some different experiences, Maureen doesn't understand. An anger she doesn't fully understand makes her decide to run for student council president just like Francine. They'd see who was the winner in this sudden sister war.

Varian Johnson, inspired by his own experience as a twin, has teamed up with illustrator Shannon Wright to create this graphic novel perfect for middle grade readers looking for the answers to their many questions about why things are changing and often feel out of control. The brightly colored artwork combined with Johnson's written word make this a great read.
