About this book

Johnny's asked
Jean to dance...

It should be the happiest moment of Jean's life, not the most embarrassing. Why couldn't Jean have been ready when the best-looking, most popular boy in the school asked her to dance? Instead, she's stepping all over his feet and is completely tongue-tied. Her head is filled with wishes that she knew how to dance, knew what to say, and didn't wear glasses. One thing is for sure: Jean will never forget this day -- or all that it leads to!
