Flipped

Flipped
By Wendelin Van Draanen c. 2001    

Reading level: Ages 9-12
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers (May 13, 2003)

Bryce Loski and Julianna Baker met each other for the first time when they are seven years old. Living across the street from one another makes them close neighbors, but they are far from being close friends. As the reader we are able to see both point of views with alternating chapters of each character. Both characters view each other and the world very differently; Juli who thinks Bryce is the cutest thing on earth and Bryce who thinks Juli is weird. They only see the appearances rather than whats deeper, until they get older.
