Justin has two goals for sophomore year: to date Chuck, the hottest
boy in school, and to become the king of Cool U, the table in the
cafeteria where the "in" crowd sits.
Unfortunately, he has the wrong look (short, plump, Brillo-pad
curls), he has the wrong interests (Broadway, chorus, violin), and
he has the wrong friends (Spencer, into Eastern religions, and Mary
Ann, who doesn't shave her armpits). And Chuck? Well, he's not gay;
he's dating Becky, a girl in chorus with whom Justin is friendly.
But Justin is determined.
In detention one day (because he saw Chuck get it first), Justin
comes up with a perfect plan: to allow Becky to continue dating
Chuck, whom Becky's dad hates. They will pretend that Becky is
dating Justin, whom Becky's dad loves. And when Becky and Justin go
out on a fake date, Chuck will meet up with them for a real date
with Becky. Chuck's bound to find Justin irresistable, right? What
could go wrong?
Seth Rudetsky's first novel for young adults is endearingly human,
and laugh-out-loud funny, and any kid who ever aspired to Cool U
will find Justin a welcome ally in the fight for popularity.
