Publisher Description
This special audiobook of the classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy includes essays written and read by Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. Bonus content includes: Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, the making of the movie of FLIPPED, and why she'll never write a sequel. Narrators Ryan Gesell and Tara Sands read a selection of the amazing fan mail Wendelin has received.

"The audio book of "Flipped" was just what my class of special education students needed. It kept them on task, interested and motivated to finish the book. We use audio books for all of the reading in the classroom. This one kept them on the edge of their seats!"

Quotes
-
“Ryan Gesell and Tara Sands take turns narrating this young-adult romance, which explores a number of contemporary themes, especially the idea that first impressions aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. Gesell and Sands hook listeners with their believable teen attitude and unaffected, expressive, well-paced performances. Bryce’s insecurities and growing pains and Juli’s inquisitiveness and fearlessness are front and center, making it easy to root for a happy ending. The audiobook concludes with bonus material by Van Draanen…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

" This was a really cute, easy read. I wasnt a big fan of the ending, but it does leave it up to the imagination. "

" Bought this book at a second hand store for 0.25! It was a short, sweet and to the point book with (what I believe) to be a good message.<br/><br/>It was a nice break from the paranormal or the classics, which quite frankly can be mentally draining sometimes. "
— Serpent, 5/19/2011 -
" I loved this book!! The only thing I didn't love about it was that the reader had to assume the "ending". Other than that, it was great. "
— Rachel, 5/19/2011 -
