Get ready to flip through Flipped, Shmoopers, because this one is a page-turner. Van Draanen gives us a tale filled with coming-of-age dramas and two narrators to boot, and with all that intrigue and the shifting perspectives, we can't help but keep reading. Sure sometimes our characters get a tad philosophical from time to time, but mostly, this book is an easygoing read.
