This brand-new series by a popular screenwriter is a pitch-perfect, contemporary comedy featuring twelve-year-old fraternal twins, Claudia and Reese, who couldn't be more different...except in their determination to come out on top in a vicious prank war! But when the competition escalates into an all-out battle that's fought from the cafeteria of their New York City private school all the way to the fictional universe of an online video game, the twins have to decide if their efforts to destroy each other are worth the price.
Told as a colorful "oral history" by the twins and their friends, and including photos, screenshots, chat logs, online gaming digital art, and text messages between their clueless parents, The Tapper Twins is a hilariously authentic showcase of what it's like to be in middle school in our digitally-saturated world.

Gr 4–6—What's wrong with a little pranking among siblings? Things couldn't possibly escalate, could they? Twelve-year-old twins Claudia and Reese Tapper live on the Upper West Side of New York City with their rather clueless, professional parents and a nice but also clueless nanny. In an effort to examine the events that led up to a full-scale war between the twins, Claudia decides to interview the combatants as well as a variety of allies and enemies, bystanders, and parents. The result is this "oral" history transcript complete with text messages, photographs, emails, and gaming chat logs. Like any self-respecting millennial, Claudia consults Wikipedia about war and sees parallels between World War I and her battles with Reese. And to think it all started with a misappropriated toaster cake. While there is plenty of hilarity, readers will experience many little pings of recognition; the dynamics between siblings and schoolmates rings true. Rodkey keeps the action moving and relatively light while maintaining a laser-beamlike eye on the complicated bond of twins, navigating the minefield that is middle school without judgment or didacticism. Fragile egos, misunderstandings, and actions that seemed like a good idea at the time are laid out in an engaging format that will be appealing to tween digital natives and fans of "Origami Yoda" (Abrams) and "Charlie Joe Jackson" (Roaring Brook). A fine beginning to a funny, new middle grade series.—Brenda Kahn, Tenakill Middle School, Closter, NJ

Super Duper
By prisrob
My nine year old grandson loved this book for several reasons. 1) He is an only child, and he enjoys reading about siblings, even those who fight. 2) He realizes he is about to enter into a very strange age, and he needs all the pointers he can get. We both read the book, and then discussed our thoughts.
Claudia and Reese are 12 year old twins. Of course, Claudia thinks she is smarter and wiser. She tells us Reese has the mind of a six year old. Reese, on the other hand does not put up with much crap from his sister. In terms of fightability, they are pretty even. They live in New York City, and go to a private school on the Upper East Side. That much they both agree upon. Claudia has decided to write a book about the war that occurred between Claudia and Reese. Both Claudia and Reese will have input, and Claudia has asked for their parents input with their text messages. All have agreed, under more or less agreeable terms.
12 year olds know what embarrasses each other, and Reese certainly hit the jackpot. One incident after another escalates until Claudia realizes that the Mindcraft games were the best way to get to Reese. Off and away they go. This is an oral chronicle done in a documentary style. There are arguments on almost every subject, photos of sleeping lawyers and other things, texts from parents, and much input from friends at school. This is a book that will be enjoyed by everyone who reads it. I laughed at many parts, and enjoyed the book immensely. My grandson was in 7th Heaven. He loves books, and he loves to read, and this was a book that kept him chuckling. The writing is superb, and is featured for the pre-teen set, just perfect. I can feature a series of the Tapper Twins. They have enough material to keep the author busy for a long time.

Humorous, Fast-Paced Tween Series
By Annette Lamb
THE TAPPER TWINS GO TO WAR (WITH EACH OTHER) by Geoff Rodkey is the first in a humorous middle grades series focusing on 12-year-old twins Claudia and Reese.
This silly, fast-paced story documents an epic sibling battle that begins when Reese calls Claudia “Princess Farts-A-Lot” in the middle of the school cafeteria. The war quickly escalates as Claudia retaliates with a dead fish in Reese’s backpack. Before long the battle moves to cyberspace and the world of MetaWorld.
Told as an oral history project, the Rodkey uses transcribed oral interviews, text messages, and chat logs to tell the story. Labelled drawings, maps, screen captures, and photographs are woven throughout the narrative providing additional evidence in the ongoing conflict.
Tween readers will enjoy the sibling banter and references to MetaWorld aka Minecraft and other popular online environments. Because Rodkey invents the social media service names like ClickChat, the books should remain more timeless than some others.
Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and other satirical realistic fiction novels will enjoy this new addition to the rapidly growing tween humor collection. Keep your eye out for the second book in the series The Tapper Twins Tear Up New York coming in Fall 2015.

Tapped Into Tweens
By Jojoleb
The Tapper Twins Go To War (with each other), by Geoff Rodkey, is a quick read and a book that will appeal to the tween set.
The plot is fairly simple. After eating Kai Kra Prow Chicken the night before, Reese--angry about who ate the last Pop-Tart for breakfast--mortifies his sister Claudia during a particular awkward moment at school (by loudly naming her Princess Farts-A-Lot. I will not elaborate further on this.) When Reese won't back down or apologize, the situation degrades into an all-out war, where Claudia and Reese try to get back at eachother tit for tat. Instead of writing the book straight out, Rodkey opts for a more compelling option: he has his character Claudia write it as a combination scrapbook and oral history. The result is a multimedia production that is as funny as it is engaging to the reader.
Rodkey, author of Daddy Day Care, the 2006 movie remake of The Shaggy Dog, and Disney Channel's Good Luck Charlie Christmas special, is no stranger when it comes to writing for kids. He has a knack for snappy and clever prose, but what really shines is his ability to connect to both the kids and adults who read the book. This book is clearly aimed at tweens, with the 6th or 7th grade equivalents of taboo but die-on-the-floor-laughing references--e.g. Princess Farts-A-Lot--but still has real appeal for adults,who will laugh at some of the same things that the kids will find funny but for entirely different reasons--e.g. the transcribed text messages between the Tapper Twins' very addled, often confused and abused parents. Kids will revel one level of meaning of the prose, pictures, and cartoons and adults will also be able to laugh when they look at the events of the book from a parent's perspective. That speaks volumes for Rodkey's writing talent.
The book is mostly just for fun but is not completely devoid of a soul. Rodkey is able to get in some important lessons about avoiding fighting by talking things out, being careful when using social media, and that in the end love always trumps war. Rodkey does this without banging his reader over the head with a sledge hammer. He is able to discuss the issues without moralizing.
That said, this book is mostly about fun. This is not high literature or material that lends itself to a lot of deeper analysis. It is not that pivotal book that will change your childs perspective on life. It's mostly entertainment, but at least it's not just kidlit candy, if you dig deep enough there's more than enough redeeming value.
Still, some parents will not like the banter between sister and brother and will quibble with some of the scatalogical humor. But generally speaking, your kid has heard worse on the playground than he or she will read in this book.
All-in-all it's a great book for tweens. It really hits the sweet spot for this age group and as a parent I appreciated being able to read it and laugh on a different level. Recommended.
