African American twins Francine and Maureen begin sixth grade with differing mindsets. Quiet, nervous Maureen is dismayed to be enrolled in Cadet Corps. A straight-A student, she worries her poor coordination skills won't cut it. Worse, she shares only a couple of classes with her outgoing, confident sister, who has decided to run for class president. But when Maureen's Cadet Corps instructor offers her extra credit for running for the same office, Maureen's determination to up her grade pits the twins against each other. Friends feel forced to choose between them, and the tension follows them home as they work on their competing campaigns. Colorful, inviting illustrations depict visually distinct twins in this graphic novel about two individuals struggling to balance their close relationship with the need to assert and explore their unique identities.
