It Takes Two series.
Twins Ava and Alex Sackett continue to navigate the excitement and pressures of school, from cheerleading tryouts to potential crushes, and try to find their place both as individuals and twins in the social hierarchy of Ashland Middle School. These fourth and fifth installments rely on some clichéd scenarios (and familiar identical-twin hijinks), but there's plenty for tween girls to relate to. Review covers the following It Takes Two titles: Even the Score and Go! Fight! Win!.
