Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen
3.0

I read this youth book because it is coming out as a movie (dir. by Rob Reiner)this fall. Much of the filming took place in the neighborhood Paul grew up in and his elementary school. They built a "fake" house just down the street from his parents. We will watch the movie as a family. I don't like substituting a movie for reading a book - and if I really like a book, I WON'T see the movie! Anne gave the book 2 thumbs up.
