The only way to tell them apart is Ray has a freckle on his right ankle and Jay doesn't.Ray and Jay moved so now there at a new school. Ray was sick on the first day of school so only Jay went. When Jay arrived at school he found out what it was like to not have a twin. Jay loved this felling.When they did attendance Jay notice they did not call Rays name for any of the classes. Also when Jay went up to ask the teacher a question he saw his profile and it was twice the size of every one else's. Jay soon figured out that the school thought Ray and jay were the same person. When Jay got home from school he told Ray about the mix up but not his parents because he had an idea. His idea was that only one of them had to go to school because they would not know the difference because Ray and Jay look alike. Ray agreed with Jay. So the next day they both walked out for the bus but Jay took a short cut to the garage and into the hide out they made while Ray went to school. This went on for awhile they switched who got to stay home and who had to go to school every day. One day Ray told this girl he liked what they were doing this girl promised she would not tell but of course she's a girl so she told people. Finally the school found out what was happening and the boys were in huge trouble with the school and their parents.

I really liked this book. At some parts it was confusing with the Rays and the Jays. It was still in my top ten though. I hope you read it.
