Jake & Lily submitted by emjane on August 9, 2013, 11:17am Twins Jake and Lily have are connected with each other in a deeper way than with anyone else in the world. But when Jake starts hanging out with boys in the neighborhood instead of spending time with Lily, that connection begins to break and Lily becomes lost and confused.

Told in alternate journal entries by Jake and Lily, the book is evenly paced. Though Spinelli's straightforward storytelling may seem a little basic at times, it cuts right to the core of the feelings and issues Lily and Jake deal with-- their changing relationship, peer pressure, teasing, and finding themselves. This true-to-life story may not particularly engage readers the same way as some of Spinelli's earlier work, like "Maniac McGee" or "Who Put That Hair on my Toothbrush?", but readers nonetheless care deeply for Jake and Lily and want things to work out in their favor.
