Julie is popular, pretty, head cheerleader, and blonde. And, she sounds like a ditz. But she needs to pass math and English so she stops nerd Charley and asks him to come tutor her at her home. Then her sister Lynn barges in on them; she doesn't wear clothes. Charley's sister offers him advice on girls and what they like. He messes up on his first date and must ask his aunt for advice. He's tutoring AND being tutored. Caution: one side character is mentally ill.
During the summer of 1948 a boy from Boston vacations with a relative in Alabama. He meets a black girl. She's young and beautiful, and they're teenagers.
