May the Best Twin Win

Ava and Alex are taking sibling rivalry to a whole new level in the seventh book of the It Takes Two series! It's Homecoming Week in Ashland! That means a big game, a big dance, and, most importantly, Powder Puff. But when Alex and Ava are placed on different teams for the middle school girls' flag football game, trouble brews. Ava is getting loads of extra attention because of her athletic ability, but this leaves Alex feeling majorly left out. Not one to hide from a little competition, Alex is determined to beat her sister at her own game by becoming her team's secret weapon! But Ava isn't worried about her jealous sister or Powder Puff. Because she has ADHD, she's supposed to get extra time on her tests, but her new substitute science teacher is refusing to give it to her. Ava knows it isn't fair—but how is she supposed to fix things in her science class and win Powder Puff for her team?

Belle Payton isn't a twin herself, but she does have twin brothers! She spent much of her childhood in the bleachers reading-er, cheering them on-at their football games. Though she left the South long ago to become a children's book editor in New York City, Belle still drinks approximately a gallon of sweet tea a week and loves treating her friends to her famous homemade mac-and-cheese. Belle is the author of many books for children and tweens, and is currently having a blast writing two sides to each It Takes Two story.
