Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-18 00:00:00 Joshua Murray Take Two by Julia DeVillers and Jennifer Roy is from a a series that follows twins Payton and Emma. From the publishers website: TWIN SISTERS PAYTON and Emma have learned that "trading faces" can lead to "twin-dentical" chaos, and they've promised never to do it again. But just to be sure that they've really learned their lesson, the school counselor has a punishment in store, and they're not going to be sitting through detention -- or hyperventilating through detention, in Emma's case. Instead, Emma's tutoring a math-hating eight-year-old boy who brings a creepy reptile to every lesson. Meanwhile, Payton has to keep an eye on his brother and help the drama club with their musical -- but she's not going to be onstage, she'll be under it! Oh! And the boys? They're identical twins too.... When things start spinning out of control, will it take another twin switch to sort it out? And just how many switches are going on at once? In the end, it's good to have a twin who's got your back as well as your face! My daughter Katelyn read this book. She thought that the book had a good story and liked how each twin had a seperate personality, She liked how the twins had to take care of a younger set of twins. She thought that the story was really interesting and there were many surprises. She thinks the book was long (304) pages but it was worth it because the story was so interesting and picked out another in the series when we took a trip to the bookstore. Appropriateness: The book stars middle school aged characters. There is some romance and some boyfriend girlfriend talk but no kissing. I would recommend this book for the 4th-6th grade audience. The lexile is 490 putting it at a third grade level which makes it very readable (even with the length) for 4-6th grade readers.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-15 00:00:00 Joseph Malatesta pretty good, and I got a few laughs out of it, but being 13, I would've enjoyed it more at a younger age. I would recommend it for 3rd to 5th graders. I only read three of the books in this series, but after the third book it got a little old, because in every book, the same thing happens......something goes wrong and the girls have to switch places, and so on and so on. for a younger reader, it might not bother them as much, or they may not even notice.
