Publisher Description

Love is in the air at William Gladstone Middle School, and even super-rational Emma-Jean Lazarus is carried away. Her heart flutters in the most peculiar manner whenever she sees Will Keeler. Does this mean that she should invite Will to the upcoming seventh-grade dance? Emma-Jean’s new friends say no, but how can they be sure? And what about the mysterious note that Colleen has discovered in her locker? Finally Colleen has a boy who likes her! Just thinking about him makes Colleen feel brave and strong. And she is convinced that her genius friend Emma-Jean will find out who it is so Colleen can ask him to the dance. But as Emma-Jean knows, nothing is simple in the seventh-grade wing, where misunder­standings lead to disaster. And this latest adventure takes Emma-Jean into the most mysterious and irrational place of all: her own heart.

"Emma Jean is a great character and one I would love to meet. I especially love her interactions with adults (when her mother explains about spring fever/crushes/being in love it was hard not to chuckle). This sequel was just as delightful as the first. I think Tessa is going to enjoy both of these books."

    " A cute book. The main character is very intellectual, so the book is a little less predictable than most. The clique of 7th grade friends actually get a long, which is a nice change from all the books about friends backstabbing one another in middle and high school. "
