Ten short stories--eight if the first and last are considered prologue and epilogue--focus on the trials and triumphs of selected students in Room 202 as they hope to celebrate Valentine's Day at the "Sweetheart Stomp." Some protagonists tell their own tales; other stories are presented from the perspective of a sympathetic onlooker; all are short, easy on the mind and eye. Frothy, light entertainment.
