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...

Full review to come but: this book was a solid three stars until the ending which earned it a high four, including the very last page with I think one of my new favorite quotes.

I enjoyed the book itself very much but didn't care much for the narrator. Doubt I'll listen to audiobooks in future with the same narrator.

Nice and enjoyable book that isn't preachy or depressing despite being about handicaps. Jessica is a teenager who has lost her leg in a vehicle accident and must learn to live with this condition when the biggest part of her life has been as a runner. She probably gets through her trials easier th...

A lot of the parts when Bryce and Julie were interacting made me smile.- The length was short and sweet, making it a quick read.- I enjoyed the story a lot. 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...
