Jac and Aggie are twins, but for the first time, they seem to have very different feelings about things. They are moving with their two dads to Los Angeles from San Francisco. Jac is excited, but Aggie is dreading it. She is afraid Jac will make new friends without her, and she will be all alone. They meet a neighbor girl, Tink, who invites them to join a neighborhood softball team. Aggie is excited to be able to make friends with several girls, and soon both girls are practicing nearly every day with their new friends, except that practice seldom happens due to middle-grade drama. And when one of the twins begins changing, things get really tense.

Robin Benway has written a fun story that addresses a lot of issues middle-grade girls can relate to — moving, being the new kid, trying to fit in, having your body grow up before you’re ready, and so much more. The dialogue is right for the age, the characters are well-rounded and believable, and the problems the girls and their friends face will keep young readers turning the pages all the way to the end.
