Emma-Jean is experiencing something new and unsettling, but not entirely unpleasant. It?s a fluttering in her heart when she imagines herself asking Will to the seventh-grade dance. Her best friend Colleen is worried that Will might laugh if Emma-Jean invites him. After all, Emma-Jean is a <i>different</i> kind of girl?certainly different from queen-bee Laura, who has always made it clear that Will is <i>hers</i>. Maybe Colleen can distract Emma- Jean from this risky plan by recruiting her for a top-secret investigation. You see, Colleen has an anonymous admirer, and if Emma-Jean can help her figure out who he is, then <i>Colleen</i> could ask <i>him</i> to the dance. Even more endearing and genuine than its predecessor, this companion to the award-winning <i>Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree</i> steals your heart and inspires a smile that lasts as long as the novel itself. . . and longer.
