A note for parents
Flipped is a charming middle-grade/early-teen romance told from alternating perspectives that celebrates self-discovery, looking beyond first impressions, and personal growth. The humor is age-appropriate and situational, centering on the awkwardness of young love and social misunderstandings. While there is occasional mild language and some romantic tension, the book's heart lies in its positive messages about kindness, courage, and learning who you really are.

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. She says: "My Bryce.

The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. She 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. And just as he's thinking there's more to her 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 new voices. Wendelin Van Draanen is at her best here with a knockout cast of quirky characters and a hilarious series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities. But underlying the humor are two teens in transition. They are each learning to look beyond the surface of people, both figuring out who they are, who they want to be, and who they want to be with.From the Hardcover edition.
