About the book . . .

Love Actually meets Adventures in Babysitting in this hilarious novel written by seven authors about seven classmates who are preparing for a crazy night at their middle school dance.

Lynnfield Middle School is prepped and ready for a dance to remember, including an awesome performance from Heart Grenade, the all-girl band who recently won a Battle of the Bands contest. Seven classmates—Carmen, Genevieve, Tess, Ryan, Ellie, Ashlyn, and Jade—intend to make the most of the night…or at least the five of them who are able to attend do. The other two would sacrifice almost anything to be there.

One thing’s for sure—this entire crew is in for one epic night! Rachele Alpine, Ronni Arno, Alison Cherry, Stephanie Faris, Jen Malone, Gail Nall, and Dee Romito have created a charming, hilarious, and relatable novel that’s perfect for anyone who can’t wait to dance the night away.

Such a cute idea. Would love to hear how it was for the authors to coordinate the writing of this. Maybe a future post? 🙂

Looks so fun! I’m intrigued by the part that only five of them actually make it to the dance – I’m curious about the other two now!

I love that there are seven girls with different personalities and that they’re able to have fun on a night that they’ll remember forever.

They are awesome for being created. I am entering to try and win them for my son-in-laws sister. She just got a new job as a teacher in the Marianas islands! She would love them for her kids – they are grades 6-12.

Amy R · November 22, 2016 at 11:21 pm

Sounds interesting with all of the different points of view! Kids love to read about other kids 🙂

Rayna Reveur · November 27, 2016 at 12:59 pm

This. Sounds. Awesome. I haven’t watched Love Actually, but I love the idea of the lives of multiple people intersecting on one night.
