Evan stared at the poem. He hardly breathed. He had never seen anything like it.
Evan believes some things (such as his poetry) should be kept private, but his younger sister, Jessie, believes scandal makes good news. When anonymously sent candy hearts appear in Class 4-O, self-appointed ace reporter Jessie determines to get the scoop on class crushes.
This fourth book in the best-selling Lemonade War series introduces readers to some of the best-loved poems by American poets, even as it asks the eternal question: What is love?
