Maureen and Francine Carter are twins and best friends. They participate in the same clubs, enjoy the same foods, and are partners on all their school projects. But just before the girls start sixth grade, Francine becomes Fran — a girl who wants to join the chorus, run for class president, and dress in fashionable outfits that set her apart from Maureen. A girl who seems happy to share only two classes with her sister!

Maureen and Francine are growing apart and there's nothing Maureen can do to stop it. Are sisters really forever? Or will middle school change things for good?

“Twins is a page-turner with moments that make you laugh out loud…While the reader learns that all twins aren’t the same and have different interests and needs, the reader also sees the subtle truth that Blackness is not a monolith, that there is no such thing as acting like a girl and that the one thing all people want is to be accepted for who they truly are.” –Renee Watson for The New York Times Book Review
