Emma G. Loves Boyz: A True Love Journal

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.
