do-over

'I'm really doing this, 'I thought, 'I could screw up,
or I could be amazing, and there's no turning back, no do-overs.'

Whit is furious with his father, dissappointed with his best friend, and completly baffled by girls. For someone who doesn't quite know "how to get started" with girls, With moves quickly from his first kiss, to his first heartbreak, to his first real girlfriend, wishing that he could correct all his embarassing mistakes along the way by calling "do-over". But do-overs only happen in basketball, so maybe he'll just have to live with mistakes... and forgive others for theirs.


"It's always wonderful when an author can write with as much ease and vitally about boys as about girls, and Vail certainly proves she can do that here. But what will count most with readers is Vail's remarkable talent for capturing so perfectly the pleasure and pain of being thirteen - in a real kids' world."
