________________________________________
Seventeen-year-old Jack Grammar, a self-proclaimed dork, has just been turned down for the prom. So his two best friends, Natalie and Percy, place an ad in the online school newspaper to find Jack a prom date. Bombarded with over 100 responses, the two decide to weed the list down to 24 girls. While Jack is initially upset, he agrees to participate in the plan. Jack meets and dates every imaginable type of girl: the jock, the prom queen, the rebel, the actress, etc. But when mysterious FancyPants starts to offer advice via email, Jack can’t help but wonder, is it Natalie? Multiple escapades, a short-lived romance, and late night conversations allow Jack to make his surprising decision about his prom date and learn the identity of FancyPants. Twists and turns, lies and truths abound as Jack gets to know himself and gains self-confidence. Bradley’s poignant romantic comedy is sure to entertain boys and girls alike.
