Gr 5–8—In this sequel to The Twinning Project (Houghton Harcourt, 2012), twin brothers Tom and Eddie are brought together again to save their planets from certain destruction. Unlike most twins, Tom and Eddie are half alien and they hail from two different times. Eddie lives on Earth Two, which is 50 years in the past. Tom lives on Earth One where the current year is 2014. In The Twin Powers, Tom and Eddie must learn to harness their alien abilities to save both Earths and everyone they care about. This sequel can be read alone or in addition to the previous book. Tom, Eddie, and their friends are relatable, and the pace and writing style will attract reluctant readers. Chock-full of action and suspense, this series will get readers thinking about important social and environmental issues.—Annalise Ammer, City of Rochester Public Libraries, NY
In this stand-alone sequel to The Twinning Project, half-alien twin brothers Eddie and Tom live apart on two different Earths, one contemporary and one fifty years in the past. To save both their planets from manmade and alien destruction, they must use their extraterrestrial abilities. The result is a light, exciting, and action-packed ride told from multiple points of view.
