When fifteen-year-old Ollie Fensterwall of Clear Creek, Georgia, encounters the beautiful Melanie Jacobson, a new student, he experiences a new depth of extraordinary emotion. So much so, she is the frequent subject of his dreams. Handsome he is not, and it generates a shyness that makes his feelings for Melanie remain clandestine. That is until his pet lizard, Quido, causes a bizarre disturbance in the classroom, creating an opportunity to establish a friendship with the girl of his dreams. But Ollie soon finds he isn't the only one who fancies Melanie. Corky Stevens, a handsome, athletic boy, is in direct competition with Ollie for Melanie's affection. Corky soon becomes a rival and nemesis, and a disruptive force that challenges Ollie's determination, compassion, and courage to win Melanie over in this sensitive and sometimes humorous story.
