Publisher Description
Pranks, fights, misunderstandings, and reconciliations ensue in an almost Shakespearean comedy of errors about mistaken first impressions, convoluted coupling, and hidden crushes.
“A Match Made in High School is the perfect teen romance. Laugh-out-loud funny, unpredictable, and fresh, this is one read you won’t want to miss.”—Jennifer Lynn Barnes, author of The Inheritance Games
Congratulations!
Your school has invited you to participate in a revolutionary misguided course called Trying the Knot!
When a mandatory marriage education course forces Fiona to “try the knot” with super-jock Todd Harding, she’s convinced life couldn’t get any worse. Until her crush is paired with her arch-enemy (otherwise known as Todd’s obscenely hot, slightly sadistic girlfriend). But that’s nothing compared to her best friend’s fate—a year with the very goofy, very big Johnny Mercer.
A series of hilarious pranks leaves Fiona wondering: Is there something her “best friend” hasn’t told her? Could there be more to Johnny Mercer than an awesome music collection? And most intriguing, could Todd Harding have a heart beneath his pretty-boy exterior?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As a new requirement for graduation, the senior class of East Columbus High School must complete a yearlong marriage education course, in which randomly assigned couples undergo a mock wedding and are forced to spend time in shared activities outside school. Outspoken Fiona, a social outcast, is paired up with Todd, a no-necked Neanderthal and boyfriend to Fiona s longtime nemesis, Amanda. Adding insult to injury, cheerleader Amanda s new faux-husband is Fiona s crush of nine years, Gabe. While the basic premise lacks some plausibility, the hard-won friendship between Fiona and Todd, which moves from mutual disgust to mutual respect, is the heart of the story (during their escalating prank war, Fiona pranks Todd by taping a pudding-and meat-filled diaper on him at a dance, only to see he s impressed). As in the copy of Pride and Prejudice that Fiona reads, there are unexpected twists of romance throughout, and readers may be pleasantly surprised by how things turn out. Debut author Walker breathes fresh life into a familiar theme, with an entertaining journey for a sassy heroine with heart. Ages 12 up.
