~From the Back~

Dylan and her TV-host mom are off to Hawaii's Aloha Tennis Open. While Merri-Lee interviews tennis's wild child Svetlana "Tennis the Menace" Slootskyia, Dylan lets the tropical sun melt away the memory of getting dumped by two guys at the end of seventh grade. But between avocado mud masks and pool side naps, she falls in love with a preppy, tennis-obsessed hawtie. Dylan soon realizes the only way to score a date with him is to master the game. Can she convince moody Svetlana to spill the secrets of her tennis success, or will she end up oh-for-three in summer love?

~My Thoughts~

This was a cute, little novel. I love The Clique series but singling out one character made it oh-so-much juicier. The romance in this book was cute, although I do NOT know and 7th graders who can flirt like that. The catty girl drama was fantastic and Svetlana's accent was uber funny. A must read for younger readers.
