This is a funny, realistic fiction story about twins, Ray and Jay. They move to a new school and on the first day one of the boys is sick, so the other goes to school alone and realizes it is kind of nice to be seen as an individual instead of always a twin. The boys devise a plan to take turns going to school and hiding out at home. Of course this is unknown to the school staff, the boys' parents and the whole student body, until Ray tells a girl to keep it a secret and a boy notices that a skinned knee heals incredibly fast. The secret plan comes undone in a humorous way. It is a fun, light-hearted read by Andrew Clements. He has written other realistic fiction books that take place at school for kids. For this one he drew on experiences of being a father of twins. He also has written science-fiction. My favorite would be, Things not Seen.completed June 21, 2010
