22. Jake and Lily (Spinelli)

Jake and Lily are twins. Despite their slightly different interests and temperaments, they feel exactly the same—like two halves of one person. But the year they turn eleven, everything changes. Their parents announce it's time for separate bedrooms. Jake starts hanging out with a pack of boys on the block. And Lily is devastated, not to mention angry. Who is she without Jake? And as her brother falls under the influence of the neighborhood bully, he also must ask himself—who is the real Jake?

  21. In the book "Jake and Lily," by Jerry Spinelli, I noticed that the character Sydney Dodds shares her last name with the character Arthur Dodds (Beans) also written by Jerry Spinelli. I think there is a connection between these stories.

    A: He wanted Jake to join his silly group, "The Death Rays."
