Fans of Voigt's Bad Girls can probably guess how Mikey and Margalo will each approach her first serious crush. Mikey is knocked senseless by her sudden infatuation with a popular classmate. Margalo keeps her feelings about her science teacher so private that not even Mikey guesses her secret until the very end. Voigt explores the dynamics of eighth-grade society and conveys the heartache of first infatuation with compassion.
