Jake and Lily are twins, and all their life they have had a secret connection to each other. They can't play hide and seek, because the always know where each other is hiding. They can answer each others questions before they're asked. Things like that. But after they turn 11, Jake starts wanting to hang out with a little gang of boys in the neighborhood instead of his sister, and their connection begins to fade. Lily still wants Jake to be her best friend forever, but he seems tired of her. They tell their stories in alternating chapters. Lily's focuses on dealing with the loss of her brother. Jake, who has more or less abandoned her, focuses on his fiends - the leader of the gang being a neighborhood bully. Jakes chapters, around the middle section of the book, get a bit uncomfortable to read, because we're following this hateful bully, and Jake seems to be enjoying the meanness. Of course, things all work out well in the end for everyone concerned. Lily I felt a lot of empathy for. Jake, not so much through most of the book. Yes, he redeems himself in the end, but there are a lot of pages in which to dislike him. Spinelli charms, with insight & humor, as always. But he can do better ([b:Milkweed|69392|Milkweed|Jerry Spinelli|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1363264990s/69392.jpg|2915313], [b:Maniac Magee|139463|Maniac Magee|Jerry Spinelli|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1172109471s/139463.jpg|3264295]). The best part of this, imo, was not the twins, not the grandpa, but Ernie the Soop vs. Bump. Yes, I recommend you read it. But I cannot bring myself to rate it a full four stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
