Lucia's had enough talk about what to wear and who's going with who.

If her best friend hadn't insisted, she wouldn't even go to the stupid party.

But after she gets to know Adesh, she starts to think maybe this boy-girl party won't be so bad after all.

Too bad he's interested in another girl. Supported by a glossary and reader response questions, this Junior High Drama graphic novel is certain to be an entertaining yet safe pick for a wide range of readers, both those reading at level and also reluctant and struggling readers.
