Ages 12+
Juli Baker devoutly believes in three things: the sanctity of trees (especially her beloved sycamore), the wholesomeness of the eggs she collects from her backyard flock of chickens, and that someday she will kiss Bryce Loski.
Unfortunately, Bryce has never felt the same. Frankly, he thinks Juli Baker is a little weird. Who raises chickens in the backyard? And don't eggs need to be pasturized or something?
Then, in eighth grade, everything changes. Bryce begins to see that Juli's unusual interests are kinda interesting. But just when Bryce starts to see Juli's side of the story Juli starts to think that Bryce is vapid and annoying.
Bryce and Juli's rants and raves about each other ring so true that teen readers will quickly identify with at least one of these hilarious feuding egos, if not both. A perfect introduction to the adolescent war between the sexes.
