Twins is a heartfelt and relatable graphic novel by Varian Johnson, beautifully illustrated by Shannon Wright. It tells the story of Maureen and Francine Carter, identical twins who have always been inseparable—until middle school changes everything.
Francine, now going by Fran, is determined to reinvent herself—new friends, new style, and even a run for class president. Meanwhile, Maureen struggles with self-confidence and finding her own identity. Suddenly, the two aren’t as close as they used to be, and when they end up competing against each other for student council, their relationship reaches a breaking point.
Will Maureen and Francine find a way to stay true to themselves while still being sisters, or will this be the fight that pulls them apart for good?
