When Maureen decides to run against Francine as her only competitor for student council president, the election’s high stakes sweep them up, resulting in slander campaigns, poster defacement, and high tensions at family dinner.

Even their previously shared friend group is being pulled in different directions-not that Francine notices. Francine is determined to strike out on her own outside of their shared twin identity, but Maureen, who doesn’t mind their similarities, isn’t as confident in making new friends. For the first time ever, the two don’t share the same schedule or the same activities-Maureen is in Cadet Corps, while Francine looks forward to new experiences and spends time in an after-school program. Maureen and Francine are sixth graders and Black identical twins about to embark on their first day at O’Connor Middle School. Are sisters really forever? Or will middle school change things for good?
