Flipped Wendelin Van Draanen Books

I just finished this book today. Alternating chapters are told from the perspective of the two main characters. I enjoyed reading how the same events came across to the two characters. I was engaged throughout most of the book, with the exception of a couple of chapters - which turned out to be pretty important! I teach 5th grade, and this was on the district's mandated book list for read alouds, but I don't think it's appropriate for elementary students. It's more geared toward middle school. I will put this in my library, but I won't announce it. In a couple of years when the boy/girl stuff really starts, then they will be ready for it. It is based on 8th graders, after all.

Flipped Wendelin Van Draanen Books Reviews

My 6th grade daughter LOVED this book & gave it to one of her classmates as a birthday gift.
I bought this for my 8th grade son as part of his required school reading. My husband and I both ended up reading it as well and loved it!
This book will make you cringe, laugh, and cry. It will break your heart in some ways and then mend it again. It will make you reflect on yourself and your values in the most beautiful way. A definite must read.
I bought the kindle version of this book shortly before the movie release. I saw a preview for the movie and it looked like something I would enjoy watching. I then found out that it was an adaptation of this book, so I decided to read the book first. The plot and themes for this book are certainly not original, but the characters are developed well, and the story has a nice flow to it. The few negative reviews always complain about the switching of perspectives between the two main characters. I found that to be the most unique quality to the book. It's really what separates it from the other books with similar stories, and it allows you to identify with both characters equally. What I love most about this book is it's sentimentality. It was written primarily as a children's book, but I think that as an adult I actually get more out of it, because it takes me back in time to when I was that age. This has become one of my favorite books of all time, as well as one of my favorite movies, as the movie adaptation was done very well despite the change in the time period(the book is modern times, the movie is set in the 50's). I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
I love this book, and have taught it to 5th graders, who also loved it. It takes a little bit to figure out what is going on, as it is written from the perspective of the boy and girl, which alternate by chapter.
Juli Baker meets Bruce Loski, when his family moved into the neighbourhood. They were both due to start second grade. She is instantly mesmerised and smitten by his blue eyes and believes that it is love. However like most boys his age Bryce never saw it that way, and makes it a point to avoid her. Juli becomes obsessed with Bryce and stalks him throughout their childhood. However this changes after some incidents that make Juli fall out of love for Bryce. Roles have reversed in this case with Bryce starts to fall for Juli, whilst she tries avoid him.

Hilarious and fascinating read, they only downside is that there is no sequel to this story which leaves the reader wondering what's going to happen next.
Reading with my son before I let him watch the movie. He is 10, he loves reading it, it seems to bring out a whole personality I have never seen in his reading, the story has him wanting to read it as much as possible. Its a great story, in the 2 person point of views its unique, and has a great theme, heart to heart, and a great truth to life. At 10 his love for the book says a lot to me, great writing. Great book. Only need the to get the physical book now, as I got the kindle addition, and now wish I had gotten a copy to keep on the shelf.
