Flipped, by Wendelin Van Draanen is a kid’s book, but it has a lot of substance to it. I guess I’m a kid at heart, because I love these kind of books.
This story is about a boy and girl who live across the street from each other. What’s different about this book is that every other chapter the narrator flips from the boy Bryce, to the girl Julie. It shows the story from two different perspectives, which adds a lot of depth. It’s funny how things look from two opposing views isn’t it?
In this story, Julie is head over heels for Bryce. As they grow up, Bryce starts to realize there is more to Julie than he originally thought. It’s a heartwarming book, and I think it’s one I could read again.
