About this book
Perfect for fans of Sweetvalley High Twins and Ride On!
A new tween graphic novel by bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks.
Twin sisters Ash and Sloane are headed to animation camp -- where their courage, drive, and sisterly bond will be put to the test!
Twin sisters Sloane and Ash are two peas in a pod, and they do everything together: watch movies, attend classes, and most importantly, draw! So when the summer animation classes of their dreams are about to start, they can barely contain their excitement!
Well...Ash is excited but Sloane is surprised to find she isn’t as jubilant about it, which makes no sense, since she loves art. Meanwhile, Ash discovers that just because you love something, doesn’t mean you’ll automatically be good at it, and she struggles under the weight of her own expectations and those of her teacher’s. Soon, the trials of challenging classwork and new friendships drive a wedge between the twins. Can their bond survive the summer?

A teacher dismisses a talented South Asian classmate, Nisha, and favors a white boy; reviewers link this to racism, though one says the book never makes the reason explicit.
