Currently Reading: Double Vision and Worlds' Finest vol #2 (New 52)

The last time I reviewed a Middle Grade book was back in February. I did start reading a couple since then but I didn't finish them because I was experiencing a bit of a Middle Grade reading slump but I'm totally over that and ready to start reading Double Vision. It's written by actresses and twin sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry, this seems like it will be interesting with twin sisters Cassie and Catlyn having psychic abilities.

I can't believe it's been a year since I read Worlds' Finest vol #1 especially since it was actually a pretty good read. The first volume is one of those rare New 52 books that is worth reading and hopefully this second one will be as well.


Book: Double Vision (Twintuition book #1) by Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry

Edition: Hardcover

Description:

Cassie and Caitlyn Waters may be identical twins, but everything else about them is completely different. The only thing they can agree on is that neither of them is happy that they have to move to middle-of-nowhere Aura, Texas. Caitlyn tries to put a positive spin on getting a fresh start, but Cassie's busy plotting how to convince their mom they should move back to the big city as quickly as possible.

But being the new kids isn't their only challenge. As the girls' birthday nears, they start experiencing strange visions -- and what they see starts coming true! Caitlyn and Cassie first use this new sight for their own fun, but when they each see something serious, the twins must work together to change the future before it can happen.
