A note for parents
Jake and Lily is a warm, humorous exploration of sibling relationships and growing independence told from both twins' perspectives. The story celebrates friendship, self-discovery, and finding your own identity while maintaining meaningful connections. There is minimal content of concern—only mild conflict typical of middle-grade fiction—and the book reinforces positive values about loyalty, honesty, and understanding others' viewpoints.

From the publisher
This is a story about me, Lily. And me, Jake. We're twins and we're exactly alike. Not exactly! Whatever. This is a book we wrote about the summer we turned eleven and Jake ditched me. Please. I just started hanging out with some guys in the neighborhood. Right. So anyway, this is a book about goobers and supergoobers... This is a story about me, Lily. And me, Jake. We're twins and we're exactly alike. Not exactly! Whatever. This is a book we wrote about the summer we turned eleven and Jake ditched me. Please. I just started hanging out with some guys in the neighborhood. Right. So anyway, this is a book about goobers and supergoobers bullies clubhouses true friends things getting built and wrecked and rebuilt and about figuring out who we are. We wrote this together (sort of) so you'll get to see both sides of our story. But you'll probably agree with my side. You always have to have the last word, don't you? Yes!
