| Plot Summary of Flipped |
|---|
"Juli Baker is the new girl across the street. The moment she sees Bruce, she goes over and says hi and then she considers him her best friend. Then from that point on, she tries to make him her boy friend, and she tries to get him to kiss her. She is very happy she moved in. The problem is that Bruce does not want to be her boyfriend or kiss her. He was doing just fine before she moved in. He would be ok if she said hi every once in a while, but she was following him around and it was getting annoying. Then, when he tries to get rid of her, his mom notices he is not playing with her any more and so she invites Juli's family for dinner. It did not turn out very well. Bruce's family was planning on having a formal dinner, but the Bakers came in tee shirts. Then the Bakers acted very crudely. It was a disaster, but Juli didn't realize and felt that Bruce's family had accepted her. Now how will he get her to leave him alone?"
