Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli - Z's Review


 Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli
Recommended Age: 8+
Overall Rating: * * * *
Genre: Realistic fiction
Review: Its a story about twins Jake and Lily. Jake and Lily have  magic between them, they called it goombla.  They were so close, that they could feel each others pain and feelings even when far apart; they could never play hide and seek because they always knew where each other was and same habits like sleepwalking  to the train station where the were born, every birthday.  Things started to change between them over time and the summer they turned twelve, things began to change. Jake made  new friends and Lily felt abandoned and lost without her brother. She  struggles to make friends initially but later both twins have a good bond but their own lives. Jake and Lily is a great book about growing up and finding oneself. It’s a realistic fiction book so you can relate to the book and realize life lessons. Its a good book to re-read too!
