In the world of elementary school, being cool is more important that one might think. Two of a Kind, by Jacqui Robbins and Matt Phelan, tells the story of two friends, Anna and Julsia, who are not afraid to be themselves. The girls know they aren’t the cool girls in class, like Kayla and Melanie, but they are happy being friends with each other. Until one day Anna gets invited to join the cool girl clique, who spend their recess making fun of Anna’s best friend. Anna has to decide if she would rather be part of the “in” crowd and sad, or happy, if a bit uncool, with her true friend. Told through an authentic sounding voice of the third grader, Anna, this book tells a story that many kids have experienced. This is a great book for any child who is dealing with the idea of cliques in school for the first time. See this book listed in our catalog
