More About This Book

Overview

The Grayson twins are moving to a new town. Again.

Although it's a drag to constantly be mistaken for each other, in truth, during those first days at a new school, there's nothing better than having a twin brother there with you. But on day one of sixth grade, Ray stays home sick, and Jay is on his own. No big deal. It's a pretty nice school, good kids, too. But Jay quickly discovers a major mistake: No one seems to know a thing about his brother. Ray's not on the attendance lists, doesn't even have a locker, doesn't even have a student folder. Jay almost tells the school—almost—but then decides that this information could be very...useful. And fun.

As Ray and Jay exploit a clerical oversight, they each find new views on friendship, honesty, what it means to be a twin—and what it means to be yourself. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and true-to-life, this clever novel is classic Andrew Clements two: twins!

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Identical twins Ray and Jay Grayson prepare for yet another year of being perceived as "two peas in a pod, two ducks on a pond, two spoons in a drawer," when their family moves from Colorado to Cleveland before the start of sixth grade. But when Ray gets sick on the first day of school and Jay discovers that Ray's school records have been misplaced, the two hatch a plan to alternate attendance, at least for the first week or so, and see what it feels like to be viewed as an individual. This slim story has all the elements readers have come to expect from Clements (Frindle): a school setting, likable secondary characters, supportive adults and a challenge to the audience to see things from a different perspective. While verisimilitude is never a priority in Clements's storytelling, this plot strains more than usual for effect: the Grayson parents seem particularly obtuse to their sons' switches, given how sensitive they turn out to be, and the case against twindom seems heavily (and gratuitously) stacked. The result: an entertaining story in a minor key. Final art not seen by PW. Ages 8-12. (July)

Gr 3-6

Twins Ray and Jay Grayson have recently moved to Ohio. For years the boys have longed to be seen as individuals rather than as "part of a pair." Due to a "clerical oversight," their first week of sixth grade gives them the chance. Ray stays home sick the first day, and Jay is on his own. He enjoys meeting his new classmates, but he is a bit baffled that no one, not even his teachers, seems to know that his brother exists. After some investigation, he realizes that the school only has records for one of them. Hilarity-and confusion-ensues as the boys take turns being Jay. This novel is true to form for Clements. Relationships are well developed and realistic, and the author shows a strong understanding of the experience of being a twin. The use of similar names for the protagonists makes following the plot a bit confusing at times, but readers will quickly turn the pages to find out what the boys are up to next and whether they will be caught. The full-page pencil illustrations are a bit misleading-they are not always in sync with the author's description of Ray and Jay as "completely identical." Although this book is not as memorable as Frindle (S & S, 1996) and some of Clements's other novels, it is a treat for those who are into the author's brand of "that could totally happen at my school" fiction.-Jessica Kerlin, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OH

Kirkus Reviews
For 12 years, Ray and Jay Grayson have been "the twins," nearly indistinguishable even to their parents. So when their new school unexpectedly combines their records, Ray and Jay decide to try out being just one person, taking turns going to school but keeping their experiment secret. Their deception lasts only eight days, but in the process they discover that they really are individuals after all. Clements's understanding of sixth graders is amply evident in the dialogue as well as the action. Better at math and athletics than his brother, Jay is at a loss when it comes to talking with girls, which Ray finds easy. Their differences lead to rolling-on-the-floor fights. When Ray shares his secret with a girl in his class, word gets around as each girl tells just one best friend, but it is a boy who notices their distinctive running styles. Another fast-paced, believable and funny offering from a master of school stories (Frindle, 1996, etc., etc.) and father of identical twin boys. (Final art not seen.) (Fiction. 9-12)

    Lost and Found by Andrew Clements Tanner's Book Review

    Ray and Jay Grayson are twins who have trouble transferring schools and with issues with there independence. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone over the age of 8.: Andrew Clements' writing style did not entertain me. Lost and Found is kind of a book for lower ages than older. Some main points in the book are when on the first day at a new school Ray stays home sick. He leaves Jay all by himself to face the new school. During the role call, Jay notices that none of the teachers called out Ray's name. It was as if no one knew he had a brother!
    The book really did not impress me at all. I had a hard time not getting bored. While Jay is at school, he sees a big blue folder with his name on it. He also notices that there is not a folder for Ray. The boys use this information to realize what its like to go to school by themselves.This is one of the worst books I've ever read. Lost and Found has a lot of mystery and deception. The boys trick their parents, teachers, and their peers on their way to discovering their own independence.

    While reading this book I sensed that it lacked maturity. I felt like the reading level was the equivalent to a second grade book. I honestly do not see how this book was published. I hated it!

    Seemed interesting, 8 year old grandson picked for a gift for doing so well last school year.

    I read a few pages. I liked that it was part of a series. The wrighter has made it easy to follow the story and has made it interesting. After my grandson read a few pages, I was glad he picked this book, he usually picks books with mostly pictures.

    We love Lost and Found

    We loved the book Lost and Found! The best part was when they were both at school and knew they were two different people. The most surprising thing was when Ray told Melissa they had been switching on and off. Also when Jay told James they were switching on and off. Our favorite characters are Jay because he came up with the idea of switching and Melissa because she was nice, always smiled and liked the boys. We enjoyed the book a lot! We think you should read Lost and Found!

    Reviewed by Sally Kruger aka "Readingjunky" for TeensReadToo.com

    Andrew Clements has added another great middle grade novel to his list of successful titles. LOST AND FOUND is a sure winner.

    Identical twins fascinate us. It seems amazing to look so much like someone else that people can't tell the difference. There are fantastic tales of switching places, having their own special form of communication, feeling one another's pain, and reading each other's mind. All that is intriguing to those who are not twins, but when you are an identical twin, there are many times when you wish you were one of a kind.

    Jay and Ray are entering the sixth grade at a new school, and each is feeling the frustration that their new classmates will not be able to tell them apart. Jay will be Ray, and Ray will be Jay more than they care to think about. However, things don't go as expected when Ray comes down with a cough and a fever that keep him at home on the first day of school.

    In their homeroom class, Jay is surprised when only his name is called off by the teacher. Shouldn't Ray be called right after him? As the day continues, all the teachers do the same. No one mentions Ray at all. It is not until Jay accidentally notices a blue file with his name on it that looks twice as thick as everyone else's that he realizes the two files have been combined. The school seems to have no idea that his twin brother Ray even exists.

    As soon as Jay gets home after school, he tells Ray about his interesting discovery. By then Jay has enjoyed one entire day not being a twin. He's even worked out a plan that would allow both boys to experience that wonderful feeling of being one of a kind. They can take turns attending school. One can go and one can stay at home. What can go wrong?

    Knowing that they can't keep up the ruse forever, they agree to try it for as long as possible. There will be consequences when they are caught, but both decide it is worth the risk. Little do they know, by pretending to be one another, they must be more alike than ever before.

    LOST AND FOUND is an entertaining story guaranteed to hold the interest of the 9-12 age group. Clements has a way of making the story sound like it could be happening right in the reader's own classroom. In addition to humor and suspense, there are opportunities for good classroom discussion including plot predictions, cause and effect relationships, and decision-making consequences. Whether inside or outside the classroom, LOST AND FOUND is a fun read.

    Wow!

    My name is Cailin Jones, and I read this book for my first eighth grade book report. And to tell the truth I absolutely loved this book. But i'm not a twin so i wouldn't know what your son's had to go through. But i think that is really creative using your boys as an inspiration to your work. I hope to read more of your books! :)

    Not As Good As I Thought It Would Be

    Lost and Found was okay, but I thought it would be better. I thought it would be much more interesting. It wasn't bad, just disappointing.
