The book is a flip book, two stories in one. Shane’s Best Week Ever! and Just Because follow the journal entries of a brother and sister separated to live in different foster homes and the personal effect it has on both of them.
The stories explain how they were separated and how they are, at first, allowed to speak to each other on the phone. Each story ends with the children reuniting in the centerfold.
