Illustrated by
Mark Elliott.
Identical twins Jay and Ray try out life as a composite individual when Ray is sick for the first day of sixth grade and no one notices. The boys take turns being Jay, but their different talents trip them up. Clements depicts their quarrels energetically and honestly. The short, easy-to-parse sentences, conversational tone, light, funny style, and realistic school setting are appealing.
