Just weeks before her graduation from junior high school, her English teacher had handed her the worst of all possible assignments . . . to tutor the one boy in the eighth grade class that every student despised!That was bad enough, but Penny was faced with an even greater problem. Her one wish, her fondest dream was to be invited to the graduation dance by Todd McKeever, the most popular boy in the eighth grade. But Todd would never want her as his date if he found out she was seeing Nerdo Corday, even if just to help him pass his English final and graduate with the rest of the class.How would she keep the tutoring sessions a secret, especially when Nerdo also wanted to date her!
