Summary: Jessie Lou is your normal average sixth grade Southern tomboy. She spends her days dreaming about popular Conrad Smith. But when he starts wearing a leg brace, he loses his popularity and gives Jessie Lou an opening. Jessie Lou is asked by their teacher to carry his books home for him everyday. Since Conrad can't quite keep up with his old friends, he and Jessie Lou start hanging out more.
Soon Jessie, Conrad, and quirky fourth-grade Quentin, are all in a scheme to save Bailey Hardware from it new competition. Meanwhile, Jessie Lou finds out someone else has been in love with her, as she keeps on hoping that Conrad keeps limping, since she's loved him ever since 2nd grade. There's also loved between Jessie Lou and her Granddaddy, and her Granddaddy, and Jessie Lou's mom. Then narration of this story is through the eyes of a young poet, which Jessie Lou is. As she tells of laughs and longing, and "a field of flowers that was never supposed to bloom."
My Reaction: I thought this book was such a good love story, full of twists and turns, and challenges. The way Jessie Lou tells this story is pretty amazing. It was a little kiddish here and there, but it's a really sweet story, and I like it.
My Rating; 8/10
