The Grayson twins are moving to a new town. Although it's a drag to be constantly mistaken for each other during those first days at a new school, there's nothing better than a twin brother. But on the first day of sixth grade, Ray stays home sick, and Jay is on his own. It's no big deal, but Jay quickly discovers a major mistake: No one at school seems to know a thing about his brother -- he's not on the attendance list, he doesn't have a locker, and he doesn't have a student folder! Jay almost tells a teacher, but then decides that this lost information could be very . . . useful and fun and maybe even a little dangerous. As these two clever boys exploit a clerical oversight, each one finds new views on selfhood, friendship, learning, and honesty. Entertaining and thought-provoking, this is Andrew Clements at his best!
