Her feeling of abandonment is as sharply felt as Jake’s need to test his independence.
Lily tries to find out who she is without her brother, but it’s hard work, and most of her attempts are unsuccessful. But their bond seems to be weakening as, at age 11, Jake starts spending more time with new friends than with Lily upset and rejected, Lily has no one to confide in except her ex-hippie grandfather. For almost as long as they can remember, Jake and Lily have shared a “special sense,” which they call “goombla.” Each knows what the other is thinking and if the other is in trouble. Spinelli (Wringer) adroitly balances emotional tension with introspective moments in this smart and funny story about a pair of twins growing apart.
