Philip Hall Likes Me, I Reckon Maybe (Puffin Newberry Library)
Philip Hall is the cutest, smartest boy in the class, and Beth  Lambert loves him. The fact that he beats her in classwork, conniving,  and just about everything else doesn't particularly bother Beth at  first. Then she realizes that Philip might be best in everything  because she's letting him beat her. And coming out on top is just too  natural a thing for Beth to hold back for very long, especially when it  comes to catching turkey thieves, or winning calf-raising contest, or  making mountain-top rescues, or capturing the affections of a young  boy.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
