Guy Time

Sarah Weeks

Harper Collins, Nov 9, 2010 - Juvenile Fiction - 100 pages

It's bad enough that thirteen-year-old Guy Strang's parents are getting divorced and his middle-aged mother is suddenly acting like a rebellious teenager. But to top that off Autumn Hockney asks him out to the movies. A year ago he would have known just what to say--"No!"--but for reasons that even he doesn't understand, he says "Maybe."

That's when Guy's troubles begin. Everybody's mad at him. Autumn's larger-than-life best friend, Lana Zuckerman, will stop at nothing in her campaign to squeeze a definite "Yes" out of Guy, while Guy's best friend, Buzz, threatens to desert him forever if he goes soft.

Guy can't afford to lose Buzz now, not when their brilliant plan to reunite his parent isn't going exactly as planned.

In this sequel to her hilarious Regular Guy Sarah Weeks explored the very essence of early adolescence with sensitivity and her trademark sense of humor.

Behind the abbe' came two more imposing lackeys, bearing an enormous salver, laden with flowers, rolls of music, and confections. The abbe made his entree very gracefully ; he walked, to be sure, with his arms stretched out in front of him as if he were playing blind man's buff, but this uncertainty of gait was not without a certain charm. He had an attractive face, plump and rosy, great eyes...‎
