| Van Draanen, W. (2001). Flipped. New York: Random House Plot Flipped is a two person narrative about two kids coming of age. Ever since the second grade, Juli Baker has been in love with Bryce Loski, unfortunately, Bryce does everything he can to avoid her. When they both enter junior high, everything flips and emotions change and both begin to see each other differently and both need to start over, together. Review This is a great book about growing up and all the ups and downs life gives you. Readers will relate to both Juli and Bryce and they will see how people perceive events and emotions differently. Tweens will relate to the angst of relationships and first love and the feelings that stem from it. Readers will also love the spunkiness of Juli and her absolute love for life despite the laughter she receives from her peers. When Bryce begins to see the beauty inside Julie readers want to shout out " See we told you so!".
