Her novel The Running Dream was awarded ALA’s Schneider Family Award for its portrayal of the disability experience. She is the author of the 18-book Edgar-winning Sammy Keyes series, and wrote Flipped which was named a Top 100 Children’s Novel for the 21st Century by SLJ, and became a Warner Brothers feature film with Rob Reiner directing. It is also available to download for free from Libby.Wendelin Van Draanen has written more than thirty novels for young readers and teens. She goes over to him, helps him, and decides to give him another chance.įlipped by Wendelin Van Draanen is available to check out from the Mission Viejo Library. At the end of the story, Juli watches as Bryce digs up a hole in her front yard and sees that he is attempting to plant a sycamore tree, a tree that Juli cherishes. Then, Bryce realizes he must apologize to Juli for all his wrongdoings towards her. Nevertheless, Juli starts avoiding Bryce and he feels he wants to win her back.
On the other hand, Bryce starts to acknowledge Juli and slowly develops feelings toward her. However, as they grow older and start to enter 8th grade, the book gets more interesting as their relationship starts to flip around and Juli starts to find herself falling out of love with Bryce. It can be seen that Juli’s feelings for Bryce do not seem to be reciprocated. Throughout the years, Juli is head over heels for Bryce and does things that seem to “annoy” Bryce while Bryce seems to dislike Juli and goes out of his way to avoid her. She is mesmerized by Bryce and provides help to move the boxes from the moving truck, but Bryce feels the complete opposite and he finds her annoying.
I love how the novel is told from different points of view between the two main characters throughout the book and how the layout and the plot of the story ties in with the title.Īt the beginning of the story, young Juli Baker introduces herself to Bryce Loski, a boy her age who had just moved in across the street.
Flipped is a novel by Wendelin Van Draanen about two neighbors whose relationship starts to “flip”.
