Bookroo's summary

Identical twins Ray and Jay Grayson face a new school with a twist: only Jay is recognized. Seizing the opportunity, they decide to live as one person. As they navigate this deception, they uncover surprising truths about identity, friendship, and honesty. Will their clever ruse bring them closer or drive them apart?

From the publisher

Twelve-year-old identical twins Jay and Ray have long resented that everyone treats them as one person, and so they hatch a plot to take advantage of a clerical error at their new school and pretend they are just one.

5.0

“The idea of having a twin and swapping places has always seemed intriguing, but Lost and Found does a great job demonstrating what such an experience might actually be like, along with teaching the valuable lessons of being honest and loving the family you have!”
