Flipped, a young adult novel by Wendelin Van Draanen, tells the story of Juli Baker and Bryce Loski through alternating perspectives. Juli falls head over heels for Bryce the moment he moves in across the street in second grade, while he spends years avoiding her. But their feelings gradually flip: as they reach eighth grade, Juli begins to see Bryce's flaws, while Bryce discovers Juli's remarkable spirit—her passion, integrity, and love for a beloved sycamore tree. A poignant tale of first love, family, and looking beyond appearances, the novel reminds readers that people may be more—or less—than the sum of their parts.
