Twins are always fascinating for all of us non-twins. We can't imagine having a person who looks so much like you but is so different.
This story is about two twins girls entering middle school. Emma is the studious one who has already won many academic prizes. She likes being comfortable and doesn't care what she looks like. Payton is the fashion twin who isn't as studious, but who wants to be popular.
They have been going to a small all-girl school since they started, but this year they are now going to a big public middle school. Both are very excited but for different reasons: Payton for the social aspects and Emma for the academics.
When they get there, they both find the social groups they want to be a part of have a Queen Bee who is hard to please. So... for a few different reasons they decide to switch places.
The book only covers two weeks, but within those two weeks the twins discover truths about themselves that make them happier with themselves and each other.
TRADING FACES was a fast read and very fun. Both twins are very likable, and since it is written by a set of twins the story is realistic. I highly recommend this book for middle school girls. I am giving it to some of my fifth graders to read.
