Occasionally, I read books I plan to give the younger members of my family. This was one and it's very well written with a believable plot that is appropriate for the age. It's recommended by several organizations and gets mine, too. Written from two viewpoints, that of a boy and a girl, it begins with two families who live across the street from each other and two young people growing up attending the same school. Trouble is, the girl falls for the boy but he doesn't like her. He's enamored by the popular girls. Yes, its complicated. Before I give too much away I'll stop here and simply say it's a read to share with those approaching and moving into their teen years. However, the book cover makes it difficult for the young reader to determine whether or not to choose this book to read.
