About the book
The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. She says: "My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss." He says: "It's been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort." But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down.

Flipped questions by chapter
We know the book, its characters, setting and story, but not what happens in each chapter. So every question is written for this book, and any of them works wherever your reader has just stopped. One question per chapter, across all 14 chapters, and every one is editable before you print. The example answers under 3 of the chapters are the ones printed at the front of the booklet.
-
Chapter 1
So far, what has happened between Bryce Loski and Juli Baker that helps explain how they feel about each other? Describe an important moment and what it shows.
-
Chapter 2
Based on what you have read, what do you predict Bryce or Juli will do next? Use a detail from the story to explain your prediction.
-
Chapter 3
What have you learned about Juli's personality so far? Describe something she says or does that supports your answer.
Example answer: I think Juli is friendly and eager to get to know Bryce. When he moves into the neighborhood, she wants to be near him instead of waiting for him to come to her. This shows me that she is not afraid to approach someone new. I also think her excitement makes it hard for her to notice that Bryce feels differently.
-
Chapter 4
How does the neighborhood affect Bryce and Juli's chances to get to know each other? Use what you know about where they live.
-
Chapter 5
Choose a word or phrase from your latest chapter that helps you picture a person, place, or feeling. What do you think it means, and which nearby details helped you?
-
Chapter 6
Do you think Bryce has treated Juli fairly so far? Explain your opinion using something he says or does.
Example answer: I do not think Bryce has been completely fair to Juli. He tries to avoid her instead of clearly explaining that he wants some space. I understand that he feels uncomfortable, but Juli cannot easily know what he is thinking. I think being honest and kind would be fairer to both of them.
-
Chapter 7
What does the story suggest so far about judging someone before you know them well? Connect your idea to Bryce or Juli.

-
Chapter 9
Which choice by Bryce or Juli would you most like to ask them about? Write your question and explain why their answer would matter to you.
-
Chapter 10
The word "flipped" can suggest a sudden change or a strong feeling. How might the title connect to what you have read so far?
-
Chapter 11
How might Bryce and Juli describe the same meeting differently? Use what you know about their feelings to explain both possible views.
Example answer: I think Juli might describe meeting Bryce as exciting because she wants to get to know him. Bryce might describe that same meeting as uncomfortable because he does not want so much attention. Their different feelings help me understand why they do not see the moment the same way. I would want to hear both sides before deciding what the meeting meant.
-

What advice would you give Bryce or Juli at this point? Explain how your advice could help with a problem you have noticed.
