(2) 4-6 In this sequel to Expecting the Unexpected, the sixth grade learns about reproduction and its absurd precursor, the courtship process. In the meantime, River and Margaret try to set up Margaret's father with their sex ed teacher, while jealous classmate Kirstin tries to break up some classroom couples. River's humorous narration insightfully comments on the similarities--and surprising connections--between friendship and courtship.
