Summary:
In this book, Bryce and Julianna are two teenagers describe how their feelings about themselves, each other, and their families have changed over the years. One thing that I really liked about this book is that the chapers alternated between Bryce and Julianna, tying in the theme “flipped.” This novel is a great read for all students. I think that students will connect to the feelings that are described in this book. As a teacher, one good idea would be to have students do a free write about their feelings about themselves and others that they know. I recommend this book to students who ages 9 and up.
