Detailed item info

Synopsis
Teenagers Dino, Ben, and Jonathan deal with the issues of girls and sex in this novel set in England. Dino feels lucky to be dating Jackie, the prettiest and most popular girl in school, but he is desperately frustrated by the fact that she will not have sex with him. Meanwhile, Ben is having an affair with one of his teachers, a situation he thinks he should find exciting, but in reality is quite unsatisfying. Finally, Jonathan finds himself attracted to a classmate named Deborah, but he's hesitant to act on his feelings for her because he fears that his friends will mock him for dating someone who is not conventionally beautiful. Three teenage friends, Dino, Jonathon, and Ben, confront the confusions, fears, and joys of adolescent male sexuality.

Publisher's Note
Offers young adults a coming-of-age tale about three young men who are in search of a solution to their own unique relationship dilemmas, including dealing with the uncomfortable flirtation of a teacher and the inability to persuade a good girlfriend to "go all the way."
Industry reviews
"Fun, peppy and unusually frank...Even the most attention-deficient reader will likely be captivated by the adrenaline-pumped narration told from the points of view of the three boys and assorted other charters..." Publishers Weekly (04/26/2004) "The book is true to the physiologically focused viewpoint of young men and also to their flailing efforts to make sense of sex's place in the world; it's also believable that the lure and entanglements of sex lead the protagonists to behave with considerable cruelty." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson
