There’s something truly special about being a tween. It’s that exciting, in-between stage where friendships mean everything, emotions run high, and every day brings something new to discover. And when you share that journey with a twin, the connection becomes even more magical.
That powerful bond is exactly what author Jacqueline Kopito captures in her new middle-grade novel, Twintastic in Miami. As a twin herself, Jacqueline writes with heart, humor, and authenticity, drawing on her own experiences to create stories that celebrate the joys and challenges of growing up.
Following her debut novel Twintastic, this second book takes readers on another unforgettable adventure with identical twins Alix and Jordyn—a story filled with friendship, courage, and a touch of real magic.
Plot Summary: A Magical Trip to Miami
In Twintastic in Miami, Alix and Jordyn are back and ready for more excitement. The sixth-grade twins have inherited magical powers from their great-grandmother and her twin sister. They’ve promised to use their gifts only for good, but that promise is put to the test when life takes them somewhere unexpected.
When their dad, a talented chef, is invited to be a guest chef at a luxury hotel in Miami, the girls are thrilled. Sunshine, palm trees, and endless adventure await. But their tropical escape quickly turns complicated.
Alix meets her first girlfriend and faces mean comments from someone she thought was a friend. Jordyn experiences the dark side of social media when an innocent selfie goes viral for all the wrong reasons. And when a mysterious thief threatens their dad’s career, the twins must make some tough choices about when and how to use their powers.
Themes & Messages: Magic, Identity, and Self-Acceptance
What makes Twintastic in Miami so special is how real it feels. Even with all the magical fun, the story reflects challenges tweens face today—friendship drama, peer pressure, identity, and online bullying. It’s a heartfelt and empowering reminder that the greatest magic of all is learning to love yourself, no matter what others think.
The book also stands out as a positive LGBTQ+ friendly read, offering representation and understanding for young readers exploring who they are. Through Alix and Jordyn’s journey, Jacqueline Kopito encourages kindness, empathy, and confidence in being unique.
Why Tweens (and Adults) Will Love It
With warmth and humor, Jacqueline brings her characters to life in a way that resonates with both tweens and adults. The story is fast-paced and fun, yet deeply emotional. Readers will laugh, cheer, and maybe even tear up as Alix and Jordyn learn that growing up isn’t easy—but it’s easier when you have someone who truly understands you by your side.
Twintastic in Miami is more than just a middle-grade fiction book. It’s a celebration of sisterhood, resilience, and the courage to stand up for yourself. It’s perfect for fans of heartfelt adventures with magical twists and real-life lessons.
