    Key Selling Points

    • This middle-grade romantic comedy with an awkward, shy protagonist and a diverse supporting cast is an entrepreneurial story in the spirit of The Babysitter's Club.
    • Hijinks and humor about everything from first crushes to first bras and heterosexual and queer romantic pairings make this a fun read for readers hungry for aspirational stories of older middle graders.
    • Susan Hughes is the author of the bestselling chapter book series Puppy Pals and has multiple nominations for the Forest of Reading awards, the TD Children's Literature Awards, and the Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction.
    • Enhanced features (highly-readable font, cream paper, larger trim size) to increase reading accessibility for dyslexic and other striving readers.

    Thirteen-year-old entrepreneur Polly Corbett has a good idea—no, a great idea—for the upcoming end-of-year dance at her middle school.

    While almost everyone in the seventh and eighth grades has a crush, none of them are brave enough to ask anyone to the dance. That's where Polly and her friends' matchmaking service comes in. But setting up dates for middle-schoolers isn't as easy as it seems. Polly and her friends face unexpected obstacles and uncomfortable truths as they discover the ups and downs of running a business and dating.

    This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
