A Novel Idea | |
Once upon a time there was a Brooklyn hipster named Norah. Unlucky in love, and short on extracurriculars for her college apps, Norah decided to start a book group. She knew the perfect locale -- a local indie bookstore with a crush-worthy cutie manning the soy latte counter.
When the first meeting arrives, Norah gets a page-turning surprise. The attendees may be bookish, but there are also a few hotties! Most noteworthy: sweet, literary James. He's like a modern Jane Austen hero.... Only, how to snag him?
Ever the romantic heroine, Norah devises a secret plan. And if it works, Norah may just find her "Happily Ever After" love story. The End.

Grade 7-11–When Norahs guidance counselor informs her that she needs more extracurriculars to strengthen her college résumé, she starts a book club at a local independent bookstore. Along with her two best friends, several interesting high school students from different backgrounds join the group, and Norah becomes attracted to James. From that point on, her focus is less on literature and more on how to grab his attention. Taking cues from her favorite romance writer, she sets up various scenarios that inevitably go awry. For example, she writes herself a love letter, planning to let it flutter down and land at Jamess feet during a party, letting him know that other boys are interested in her. Instead, the note lands near Jamess friend, who embarrasses her by reading it aloud. Ultimately, Norah discovers that James has read the same romance novel and has watched her plotting with rapt attention. He also shares her feelings. Norahs voice is quick-witted and strong and conveys the lack of confidence that many teens experience. The books urban setting, in Brooklyns Park Slope, comes through clearly, and Friedmans references to numerous popular-culture icons will grab the teen crowds attention. Recommend this light read to fans of Janette Rallisons Alls Fair in Love, War, and High School (Walker, 2003).–Emily Garrett, Naaman Forest High School, Garland, TX
