À propos de cet audio

Beloved Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli, author of Maniac Magee and Wringer, addresses issues of identity, belonging, family, and bullying in this humorous and heartfelt novel about twins.

Jake and Lily are twins. Despite their slightly different interests and temperaments, they feel exactly the same—like two halves of one person. But the year they turn eleven, everything changes. Their parents announce it’s time for separate bedrooms. Jake starts hanging out with a pack of boys on the block. And Lily is devastated, not to mention angry. Who is she without Jake? And as her brother falls under the influence of the neighborhood bully, he also must ask himself—who is the real Jake?

This is an often funny, poignant, and profound story of growing up, growing apart, and the difficult process of figuring out who you really are.

I'm not sure if it was because Jerry Spinelli's other works (e.g., Milkweed; Maniac Magee) set me up to expect more of this, or whether I'm just not a big fan of Jesse Bernstein's voice for playing young people ("Liar, Liar" engendered the same feeling, due in part to Bernstein's narration), this book was - as three stars suggest - pretty good only. #Audible1
