Extra Credit + Lost and Found Book Recommendation

Extra Credit + Lost and Found Book Recommendation



If you liked reading "Extra Credit" then I recommend that you read the book "Lost and Found," another story by Andrew Clements published earlier than "Extra Credit."

This great and entertaining novel is about two twin brothers named Jay and Ray Grayson. They move into a town called Clifton, near Cleveland, Ohio. On day one of sixth grade, Ray stays home sick and so Jay is on his own there. He sees his new school, Taft Elementary as a pretty nice place and there are some good kids too.

But he soon discovers a big mistake while he is there. No one seems to know a thing about Ray, even though he's in the same grade as Jay. Ray's not on the attendace lists, doesn't have a student folder and locker. Jay decides to inform the school about this, but then realizes that this lost information could be very fun to use.

As the two brothers do a very dangerous act of alternating days of going to school without the adults knowing or realizing it, they make new friends they thought they'd never make before.

This book does regard the making of new friends, like how Extra Credit mainly dealed with a overseas friendship that sparked and ignited from America to Afghanistan. But unlike the overseas friendship in Extra Credit, Lost and Found deals with making new friends in just a suburban area and so there are no dislikes or feelings of uncomfortablilty mentioned here. Lost and Found also talks about what it truly means to be a twin, and what it means to be yourself.

Overall, I recommend that you read this entertaining novel "Lost and Found" if you liked the overseas spark of friendship that ignited in the book "Extra Credit."
