Your Move J.P.

J.P. is a 12 year old boy that was never ever going to fall in love with a girl! Until Angela Patricia Golswerthy, the new girl in J.P.'s Math class with the British accent and golden blonde hair, turn's J.P.'s world upside down. He walks into walls, trips over his own feet, and starts to use deodorant! J.P. gets caught up in telling one little lie to impress Angela, and that little lie spins out of control for J.P. J.P. loves chess and building mechanical stuff from junk. He's very smart and kind of a nerd. Angela is the pretty new girl in school and very popular. And she tells a little lie of her own! It is a great story for both boys and girls. I like this book a lot. It was a funny story and I hope you give it a try.

Your Move J.P.

I think this book is terrific the kids play chess. In the book, J.P. the main character, likes this girl named Angela Patricia Galsworthy. Angela's dad is a doctor in this story. This book makes me laugh a lot and cry a little. If you want to read more about J.P. and his sister Caroline read these books "Switcharound" and "The One Hundredth Thing About Caroline". I think you would enjoy this book called "Your Move, J.P."
