 For
the first time in his life, twelveyear-old J P. is in love,
and it's making him do all sorts of weird things. Like using deodorant
when he doesn't even smell. And bumping into walls. And imagining
he hears serenading violins. J.P. has even forgotten his obsession
with chess, too caught up in pondering the beauty of Angela Patricia
Galsworthy, a girl who has just moved to town from London and has
the most charming British accent.
He will go to any length to impress Angela, including catching a
rare and fatal disease called triple framosis. "Triple framosis
runs in families," he tells Angela in a hushed and stricken
voice.
How will J. P. get himself out of his lie? It grows increasingly
difficult as Angela continues to discuss his disease and the potential
help of her doctor father, a specialist in genetics. Wbat's a poor
lovesick boy to do?
Readers will remember the irrepressible JR and his sister from The
One Hundredth Thing About Caroline and Switcharound. They're as
funny, bright, and lively as ever.
"A
sequel to "The One Hundredth Thing about Caroline" and
"Switcharound", the book presents a good case for the
danger of mixing lies and love and is just as lively and entertaining
as the earlier two." --THE HORN BOOK
