YA
Nice guy falls for not-so-nice girl, not realizing that the real thing (the nice girl) is right in front of him. Ken is seduced by his friend Razzle's heartless nemesis Harley, a teenage sexpot who sees Ken's photography as a ticket to a modeling career. An original twist on this theme is Ken's conscious complicity with the arrangement. Wittlinger breathes life into this familiar story with her vivid Cape Cod setting and distinct personalities.
