| Publisher Description: A fresh, uproariously funny middle grade novel about an all-out war between two very creative twin siblings This brand-new series by popular screenwriter Geoff Rodkey is a pitch-perfect, contemporary comedy featuring Claudia and Reese, twelve-year-old fraternal twins who couldn't be more different...except in their determination to come out on top in a vicious prank war But when the competition escalates into an all-out battle that's fought from the cafeteria of their New York City private school all the way to the fictional universe of an online video game, the twins have to decide if their efforts to destroy each other are really worth the price. Told as a colorful oral history by the twins and their friends, The Tapper Twins Go to War (with Each Other) is a hilariously authentic showcase of what it's like to be in middle school in our digitally-saturated world. |
