From Barnes & NobleHigh school freshman Will Tuppence just wishes that girls were as simple as science. He's drawn to his bright young classmate Mi-Su, he's not sure whether they are just pizza pals, science mavens, or, he hopes, something more. Meanwhile, his loony-toon younger sister is driving him crazy and his frienemey BT is sending out some powerful mixed signals. Newbery Medal winner (Maniac Magee) Jerry Spinelli has once again constructed a believable fable of teenage times.
