Love is in the air at William Gladstone Middle School, and even super-rational Emma-Jean Lazarus is carried away. Her heart flutters in the most peculiar manner whenever she sees Will Keeler. Does this mean that she should invite Will to the upcoming seventh-grade dance? Emma-Jean's new friends say no, but how can they be sure?
And what about the mysterious note that Colleen has discovered in her locker? Finally Colleen has a boy who likes her! Just thinking about him makes Colleen feel brave and strong. And she is convinced that her genius friend Emma-Jean will find out who it is so Colleen can ask him to the dance.
But as Emma-Jean knows, nothing is simple in the seventh-grade wing, where misunderstandings lead to disaster. And this latest adventure takes Emma-Jean into the most mysterious and irrational place of all: her own heart.
From the Compact Disc edition.

...
The eccentric but good-natured Emma-Jean Lazarus returns with another comical adventure, superbly narrated by Mamie Gummer. As her school prepares for the annual Spring Fling, Emma-Jean is fascinated by the unusual behavior of her classmates. Gummer's narration follows the amusing exploits of the seventh graders as the story alternates between the perspectives of Emma-Jean and her friend, Colleen Pomerantz. Gummer's perfect pacing allows listeners to be fully absorbed as Emma-Jean races to uncover Colleen's secret admirer before the dance. Not overly dramatic, Gummer's voice quietly brings to life the numerous familiar characters, such as the Indian doctoral student Vickram, all of whom add texture to the story. Enough backstory from Emma's previous adventure is included to satisfy listeners. L.A.C. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
