About this listen

 Best friends and unofficial brothers since they were six, ninth-graders T.C. and Augie have got the world figured out. But that all changes when both friends fall in love for the first time. Enter Alé. She's pretty, sassy, and on her way to Harvard. T.C. falls hard, but Alé is playing hard to get. Meanwhile, Augie realizes that he's got a crush on a boy. It's not so clear to him, but to his family and friends, it's totally obvious! Told in alternating perspectives, this is the hilarious and touching story of their most excellent year, where these three friends discover love, themselves, and how a little magic and Mary Poppins can go a long way.

Critic reviews

★ “This romantic comedy is pure fun.” –Kirkus

★ “This is a rich and humorous novel for older readers...a fun, feel-good story with star quality.” –School Library Journal

“Funny, affecting, smart and surprising, too. The climactic moment is good as a Broadway curtain call–or a neighborhood outing to Fenway.” –The Washington Post

“A big, warmhearted tale about musical theater, political organizing, baseball, friendship and love–opening up the audience to adults as well as teens.” –Publishers Weekly

“Kluger's easy-breezy and thoroughly absorbing novel channels the hearts, heads, and hormones of three high school students.”–Horn Book

"A sprawling, comically pitched story...as tangled and entertaining as a production of Kiss Me, Kate." –Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"Practically perfect in every way." –Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
