Lost and Found
The Grayson twins are moving to a new town. Again. Although it's a drag to be constantly mistaken for one another, still, during those first days at a new school, there's nothing better than a twin brother. But on day one of sixth grade, Ray stays home sick, and Jay is on his own. And--no big deal. It's a pretty nice school, good kids too. But Jay quickly discovers a major mistake; no one at this school seems to know a thing about his brother. Ray's not on the attendance lists, doesn't have a locker, doesn't even have a student folder. Jay almost tells a teacher, but decides that this lost information could be very...useful. And fun. Maybe even a little dangerous. As these two clever boys exploit a clerical oversight, each one finds new views of selfhood, friendship, learning, and honesty. Entertaining and thought-provoking, this is Andrew Clements at his best.

Editorial Reviews

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)

OCTOBER 2008 - AudioFile

Clements has written yet another book that gives young listeners plenty to think and talk about. When twins Ray and Jay wonder what life is like without a twin, they discover it’s not all they expected. Listeners will be able to identify with the both their scheme and its consequences. Keith Nobbs narrates with excellent pacing, cadence, and intonation. As he brings Ray and Jay to life, he gives great energy to the pair, allowing listeners to empathize with the boys' ups and downs. Nobbs captures the attitudes of these sixth-graders and their friends, ensuring that listeners are quickly caught up in their story. The adults' voices are distinct and appropriately supportive as well. J.K.R. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
