When Riley is forced to give up her cell phone and talk face-to-face with her crush Lucas, will she connect or will she shut down? Then, when another girl tries to get Lucas's attention, can Maya help her best friend win back her guy?
The riotously funny Lilly, last seen in Chester's Way (Greenwillow), thinks her new baby brother, Julius, is disgusting -- if he was a number, he would be zero. But when Cousin Garland dares to criticize Julius, Lilly bullies her into loudly admiring Julius as the baby of the world.Lilly knows her baby brother is nothing but dreadful -- until she claims him for her own. "Henkes displays a deep understanding of sibling rivalry and a child's fragile self-esteem....Lilly is a superb and timely heroine." -- Publishers Weekly. "
When Riley decides to sneak out to a college party with Maya, she's plagued by her guilty conscience. Is it weird her conscience comes in the form of a giant potato tot? Perhaps . . . But the real question is, even if Riley's parents don't catch her, can she live with herself for lying to them? Then news of Riley and Lucas's first kiss gets out, and their peers push them into declaring they are a couple. Super lame. What's worse, things between them suddenly get, well, awkward. Will Lucas and Riley live awkwardly ever after, or will they figure out that the power of friendship can overcome anything?
