Two Kids by Richard Levine revolves around two kids, Rob and DC, and their friendship which begins one summer's day. DC lives with her parents and younger brother, and Rob lives with his parents and little sister. As their friendship blossoms and they get to know each other more, readers get to see a lot of carnivals, parties, school dances, dates and field trips in this story. Tragedy strikes when a plane crashes into DC's house and they lose her younger brother Tommy. Rob also goes through a bad time when his father has a massive heart attack. The story sees these two friends trying to cope with the tragedies in their lives and still maintaining their friendship even after DC moves away.

Along with the fun part, the story also sees grief, hardship, tragedy and many other incidents in the lives of these two teens. The story is tangible and so is the friendship. Children can relate to Rob and DC as the book showcases the teen years, the crushes, the awkwardness and the special moments shared between the two main characters. The scenes are described well and all the characters and scenes come alive. The story has its fun moments as well as the serious ones. This nice story of friendship deals with what all teenagers go through while growing up; crushes, friendships, and many a time trying to cope with their personal problems at home. Readers will definitely find some character in the story that they can relate to.
