Lose yourself in this enchanting young adult romance that proves love and a touch of magic can change everything. "Funny, affecting, smart and surprising, too."--The Washington Post "A big, warmhearted tale about musical theater, political organizing, baseball, friendship, and love--opening up the audience to adults as well as teens."--Publishers Weekly
There are only three great loves in T.C. Keller's life: the Red Sox, his father, and his best friend and unofficial "brother," Augie. But ninth grade is the year when he falls head-over-cleats in love with Alé Perez. She's pretty, sassy, smart, and a great dancer. Alé is so busying playing hard to get that she doesn't realize that she just might be falling head-over-tap shoes for T.C.'s Boston accent, too. Meanwhile, T.C.'s best friend, Augie, is falling in love as well, but with a boy? It may not be so clear to him; but to the rest of his family and friends, it's totally obvious that Augie, who loves musicals and old school screen sirens such as Judy Garland, is head-over-heels in love with Andy Wexler. Told in alternating perspectives, this is the story of their most excellent year, where these three friends discover themselves, love, and that a little magic and Mary Poppins can go a long way.
