Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli
3.0

I liked the twin connection between Jake and Lily, however I could have done without the fantasy train scenes. I thought the issue Jake experiences with bullying really showed how a "good" kid can get pulled into a complicated situation. The resolution of this issue was uncomfortable, realistic, and well done in my opinion. There are many aspects in this book to focus on and I chose the bullying issue and was pleased with the outcome. Students in grades 4 and up might find this book interesting.
