It's springtime at South Orange Middle School. Pete Saltz is in love with Anabelle, a girl in his eighth grade class, and she likes him, too. But they're both so shy, they won't even look at each other, much less show their feelings. It will take more than chance to get them together.

Avi has delighted countless young readers with his tales of high-spirited adventure. A former librarian, he has won a Newbery Honor Award, an O'Dell Award, a Christopher Award, and honors from the ALA for his works.

Forced to go polepole (slowly), DJ finds out the hard way that youth, fitness level and drive have nothing to do with success on the mountain-or in life.
