## Description

A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped , on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received. Awards and accolades for Flipped: SLJ Top 100 Children’s Novels of all time IRA-CBC Children’s Choice IRA Teacher’s Choice Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA Winner of the California Young Reader Medal “We flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.” — The Chicago Tribune “Van Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade ‘he-said, she-said’ romance. A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.” — SLJ, Starred review “With a charismatic leading lady kids will flip over, a compelling dynamic between the two narrators and a resonant ending, this novel is a great deal larger than the sum of its parts.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred review

Review: Blue Eyes and a First Kiss - Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen Review by Mrs. Maureen D. Coelho Read this hysterically funny story about two young kids who meet by chance when Bryce and his uptight parents move into Juli's neighborhood. It is the summer before their 2nd grade in school when the moving truck backed into the driveway, and they began unloading their belongings. Juli jumped up on the vehicle and right into Bryce's life. She locked eyes on Bryce's blue eyes and almost kissed him. Each chapter of this hilarious story is a delightful yet different version of the same situations told by Bryce then by Juli. Their families are quite different. Bryce's father is judgmental and opinionated. His mother is quiet and dominated by her husband. They are obsessed with their appearance and what people think about them; they still did not show compassion or kindness toward each other or the grandfather. Bryce's family is distant and unemotional. Even after the grandfather moved in with them, Juli's father is a hard-worker who loves to paint. He has a brother with medical issues that he financially cares for and physically visits on the weekends. They are not concerned with the upkeep of the house that they rent. They do not surround themselves with fancy, name-brand clothes, or expensive household items. Juli is a strong-willed, full of life, energetic girl who blossoms into a beautiful yet unique young woman by the end of the story. Bryce is a typical, naive boy who is not interested in girls or drama. When he first met Juli, he thought she was pushy, obnoxious, and forward. He watched her from a distance as she succeeded in many things, including winning the School Science Fair, raising chickens, hatching and selling chicken eggs, climbing trees, and landscaping her yard. Juli received some much-needed help from Bryce's grandfather. The two became close friends and shared personal information about themselves as they worked. Bryce was jealous that Juli and his grandfather became so close when the grandfather barely spoke to Bryce or his family. Juli has a likable personality, and she supports her opinions with rational actions. She even climbed the tall tree on their street and protested so the township workers wouldn't cut it down. Bryce began to see the real Juli, and he slowly started to like what he could see. Opinions about each other change slowly throughout the story as Juli and Bryce get to know each other better. Bryce thought her family was crazy, needy, unkempt, and lazy. After Juli explained to Bryce's grandfather that they rent the house so they can afford to keep Juli's uncle close to them to visit him often. Bryce begins to identify Juli's strengths as positive character traits. He admires her father for loving his brother so much. He respects her brothers for following their dreams of becoming musicians. Bryce realizes that his father is sad and regrets giving up his ideas to work and have a fancy house. As Bryce begins to fall for Juli, she starts to think Bryce is lazy and doesn't stand up for his beliefs. She slowly loses interest in him and no longer wants to have him be her 1st kiss. I rate this story 4 stars out of 4 stars. This the real story is easy to read and understand. It is entertaining to read the same situation explained by two different people. The characters are likable and humorous. The author leaves you to imagine the courtship of the two main characters. You do not know what will happen next, but it is evident that Bryce connects with Juli's feelings. Topics of discussion include a first kiss, romance, dating, neighbors, science experiments, self-worth, endangered trees, hatching chicken eggs, and family support. The target audience for this straightforward read story is aged ten and up. There is no profanity or explicit dialogue in the text. Everyone wants to fall in love and find true happiness. As you read Juli's conversation, you can imagine her first kiss with Bryce and how special it would be if it would happen. It makes you think about your first kiss and your first crush. I enjoyed the adoration both characters had for each other. The book was much better than the movie. The setting for the film is the 1950's in America. I did not pick up on clues in the book to think it took place in the 1950s.
Review: Good book - Such a good book. My daughter had this read in two days. She loved it because she watched the movie first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book
*by B***N on April 9, 2026*

Such a good book. My daughter had this read in two days. She loved it because she watched the movie first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flipped
*by K***R on July 26, 2025*

This book was the 1st ever book that I read like this. I read this when I was a 2 grader and I'm now going into the 8th grade. This book made me fall in love with books. When I read this book I realized there was more to books than just words, its a whole adventure that you can get lost in. Since then I have read many books with different perspectives and they continue to have me like them but they never seem to quite compare with what I felt after I read this. I felt it had been so long since I last read it and since I got a kindle and didn't know what to read I figure why not go back to my roots. And I'm so glad I did. I read the book in about 4 hours spilt between two days. But overall in just so glad I picked up this book back then and got to experience a book I would never forget.
