![]() Will these external changes dent their actual relationship? All this change leaves Maureen wondering if she is losing her best friend. The close bond they have is at stake when both girls decide to run for class president. She has a new style and is perfectly fine having a different class schedule. Francine, “the talker,” craves independence. The plan was to have the same class schedule as her sister so they could eat lunch together and she is perfectly OK with keeping their same group of friends (coordinated outfits and all). Maureen, “the thinker,” wants to keep things just the way they are. But at the start of sixth grade, things just aren’t the same. Their whole lives they’ve done everything together. Maureen and Francine (who now wants to be called Fran) are more like best friends than sisters. And it’s a reality that is well reflected in the lives of Maureen and Francine Carter, twin sisters in “Twins,” the first book of the graphic novel series by Varian Johnson and Shannon Wright. Change itself seems to be the only constant these days. Young people are adapting to virtual school sessions, socially distanced play dates and visits with loved ones through Zoom. ![]() ![]() TWINS Written by Varian Johnson Illustrated by Shannon Wright ![]()
