Twins: A Graphic Novel (Twins #1) (1)

This book was a fantastic read for my college-level children's literature class! Twins explores themes of identity, family, and the struggles of growing up with a unique and relatable perspective. The art style is captivating, and the characters are both endearing and real. The story touches on issues that resonate with readers of all ages, especially those navigating the complexities of sibling relationships and self-discovery.As a class, we discussed how the graphic novel format brings a fresh approach to storytelling. It's an engaging way to dive into deeper topics while also being visually stimulating. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a thoughtful yet accessible graphic novel, and especially for educators looking for material to introduce to young readers!

Idk if it’s just me but I LOVE comic book or graphic novels . And this is one of my favorite books ! I highly recommend if u want it read for school , summer , or free time !

I really enjoyed this sister story about twins Maureen and Francine who are drifting apart as they start middle school. Maureen still wants things to be the same, where she and Francine do everything together, but Francine is ready to start exploring her own identity separate from her sister. They both decide to run for class president, for different reasons, and it becomes quite the showdown. But along the way they both realize that the other sister has good reasons for running, beyond just getting back at each other. They have to start seeing things from the other sister's perspective to gain empathy for each other. The most heartrending line from Maureen is: "It felt like you were throwing me away." The feelings are real! I would highly recommend this book for middle grade readers.

Cute. Not a page turner. Storyline is a bit of a stretch.

I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter who has developmental delays and speech and language disorders. She is able to fully engage in this style of novel and wants to talk to everyone about it! Her speech therapist was impressed with her ability to comprehend and recall the storyline. This style, format, characters, everything is exactly what my daughter needed at exactly the right time. We hope a second story follows but if not we’ll forever be grateful to this introduction to graphic novels representing smart independent Black girls!

Very nice for older gradeschoolers /junior high. If your child prefers more realistic stories -this is perfect. Twins were realistic and nice girls who work hard and value academics. Struggles are realistic and sibling rivalry is resolved in a healthy way.I didn’t particularly like the family wasn’t honest about the twins class scheduling issues. That said, I can see why some parents would just keep those decisions to themselves. Just not my parenting style. It all comes out in the end anyway. (Doesn’t it always? Lol)Just to illustrate:One twin is upset that they didn’t get the same schedule. They tell her it was decided by the computer, but really the other twin had asked her parents to separate them so she could have some independence.They also put one twin in cadets when she wanted normal gym because they thought she needed to work on leadership.

This is a cute story of twins in middle school. One twin is working to find her own identity, her sister struggles separating from her twin. A good story of two sisters figuring out who they each are as they begin their journey in middle school.

I love this book because it really grabs my attention in a good way. It really goes into detail about having a twin, the ups and downs. The twins are totally opposites Fran is really friendly and LOVES to talk while Maureen is shy and likes to lay low. it is their first day of middle school (rough) and Fran is really trying to fit in, on the other hand Maureen is a nervous wreck.There is a election and both of the twins shin up to run for class president, and things get rough.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤❤👍👍👍👍👍HIGHLY SUGGEST!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍❤❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
