Told in alternating chapters by each of the main characters, this lively romance has humor and heart.
Through working together, Omar develops genuine feelings for Claudia, and she finds herself drawn to him. Omar uses his considerable charisma and stories from his activist uncle to lead a successful protest and bring the impending cuts much-needed attention. Socially conscious, Claudia is more interested in protesting budget cuts that will wipe out the arts, the library and other school activities-excluding sports-than in Omar. The fact that he has moved to Charleston, S.C., from Brooklyn adds to his aura, and he attracts the attention of every desirable girl at school-except for Claudia Clarke, who calls him “immature, shallow fraud.” Omar never runs away from a challenge, and he bets his friends that Claudia will become his next conquest. Omar “T-Diddy” Smalls has the swagger that comes with his exalted status. A star high school quarterback bets he can get the attention of a girl who claims not to be interested by leading a protest for a cause she champions.
