Emma G.
Loves Boyz: A True Love Journal
by Taro Meyer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
YA/Middle Grade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Emma G. is CRAZY about
Aaron, lead singer of Boyz3000. Of course, she doesn’t actually know him, but
so what? Feelings are feelings. That is until Josh appears… and he’s soooooo
CUTE. Navigating her two crushes and her middle school life, especially with
eighth-grade hater Renee around, is a challenge. And oh yeah, she’s got to earn
money for an AWESOME trip to the Bahamas to see the band of her dreams.
Hello???? How much can one thirteen-year-old take???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“You know
that thousands of girls like Aaron,” she said. “Right?”
“So??”
“So it’s
statistically almost impossible that a pop star boy will date a fan.”
I should
have known she’d say something like that. I wanted to say, “Okay, just forget
it.” But instead I said, “Whatever! I mean I just love his singing and his
writing. That’s all.”
But
that’s not all. How do you change what you feel just because some stupid
statistics say you don’t have a chance? An article in Tigerbeat said Aaron had
dated a girl from his high school for three months! And she wasn’t a star! So
who knows what can happen? When you feel something, you have to believe! Your
feelings are totally crucial to your life! When I look at Aaron’s face I get
those stomach flutters! And feelings CANNOT BE IGNORED.
I started
thinking about stomach flutters instead of the essay and wondering why they
happen with just one particular boy. Why can one boy make your stomach go
CRAZY????
I called
my cousin Elyse to ask what she thought because she’s older and experienced.
“No one
really knows,” she said. “That feeling just hits you. But you want to make sure
that the boy you like, likes you back.”
“How can
you tell?”
“Well,”
she said after thinking for a minute, “sometimes boys don’t want you to know
they like you. So they look at you like they are trying to look like they
aren’t looking at you or liking you, but really, they are.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting this tour. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share Emma G.'s world. Her world was mine too: a love of writing and music and, of course, the excitement of that first crush. Emma G. was actually based on a real first crush story and I'd love to hear from readers because so many of us have those same feelings. Taro
