Flipped by Wendelin Van tells the story of two youngsters whose relationship evolves throughout the years. The two friends become close and learn more about each other through a series of trials and tribulations. I believe this is an excellent coming of age story for students that are in the 6th gra...
EW! We read this for book club back in March and the author came to our book discussion. About half the attendees were white. Lincoln Jones' race came up and Van Draanen said she purposely kept everything (location, everyone's race, etc) vague so the book could be read as people want. It's like s...

There were plenty of funny bits and even ...
Juli and Bryce are the dual thirteen-year-old narrators, recounting the same events in their common history, but from very different perspectives. It's a coming of age story in which the subject of first love is treated with humor and respect, never with condescension. What made this book enjoya...
