Lost and Found by Andrew Clements takes place when the Grayson twins and their family moves to Clifton, Ohio. The Grayson twins are Jay and Ray. On the first day of sixth grade, Ray is sick so Jay walks to school by himself. During the school day he notices that Ray’s name is never mentioned in attendence sheets, nurse lists, and student ID’s. Pretty soon Jay realizes that the school has no record of Ray. The school have mistaken the twins as one person. So, Jay hatches a plan. Jay and Ray will take turns going to school. Jay will go one day and Ray will go the day after that. While one goes to school, the other will stay home and relax while watching movies and sleeping. But pretty soon, the nurse, principal, and some friends notice differences between days. They soon realize that they are twins. Pretty soon the whole school knows. Jay and Ray’s parents find out and all is lost. But, Jay and Ray did this because they were sick and tired of being twins. They were always compared to each other. This story is really about learning to be yourself and develop honesty in others. I loved this book. It is a classic! I recommend it to boys and girls.
