Twins

OK this is great, the art is adorable and it is easy to both 1) tell Francine and Maureen apart but also 2) tell that they are identical twins. I think a lot of tween readers will find this sibling rivalry really relatable and it's easy to symphatize with both twins and to see how it would be hard to be both “the smart shy twin” and “the outgoing, friendly [but less smart] twin”.

one lil quibble I have is that I kind of wish the activity that made Maureen start to get out of her shell was JROTC? Like I know that is a thing and I guess even some middle schools have it (though I've seen it more in high school)? IDK, I guess it's something that will be of interest and relatable to some readers but also what can I say, I'm a leftie uncomfortable with the military-industrial complex being marketed to children
