Her clothes seem all wrong. Jake is acting weird, and basketball isnt the same. And worst of all, there is this guy, Santiago, who appears from . . . where? What lengths will Joy go toand who will she becometo attract his attention?
In short poems that perfectly capture the crazy feelings of adolescence and first crushes, award-winning author Nikki Grimes has crafted a delightful, often hilarious, heart-tugging story.
