Synopsis

Valentine's Day is growing near and Hector ("Hec") Anderson feels like a sci-fi visitor abandoned on an alien world. His sister Chloe abandons her black Goth style for pretty pinks after getting roses from an anonymous admirer. Dad's long work hours makes Mom trade in her no- nonsense pony tail and sweatpants for capris and curlers. Calvin's hand puppet Mr. Buttons falls in love. Only Stevie, who loves Valentine's Day because of the sweet tarts and lollypops he gets at preschool, seems sane. Life outside the Anderson household is no more stable. Hec's best friend shamelessly capitalizes on a bad situation as his parents seem headed for divorce. All of Hec's confusion comes to a crisis point when the girl of his dreams moves to town and he must challenge the most popular boy in school for her attention at the school dance.

About this title

About the Author:

Jennifer Bohnhoff is a middle school social studies teacher. She loves travel and history, so it should come as no surprise that many of her books are middle grade and young adult historical novels set in beautiful or interesting places. She also has written a few humorous contemporary novels and a few adult novels. 

In addition to writing and teaching, she is a middle school cross country and track coach and she sings in the choir at Faith Lutheran Church. But what she loves most of all is helping people reach that "ah hah" moment when they suddenly understand the connections between themselves, the past, eternity, and the world around them. She tries to do this with music, movement, writing, teaching and simply living.

Mrs. Bohnhoff is the mother of three handsome men, the mother-in-law of two beautiful daughters and the grandmother of one very smart granddaughter with another on the way. She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her husband and a petulant stinker of a cat who cares nothing for her writing.
