    Readers of Jenny O'Connell's first book for teens, PLAN B, will have high expectations for THE BOOK OF
    LUKE--and they won't be disappointed!

    When nice girl Emily Abbot's family moves from Chicago back to Boston in the middle of her senior year, Emily
    and her two best friends come up with a plan that is not so nice. It's a project for their class time capsule, but it
    won't be the typical scrapbook or mix CD. They'll write a handbook for guys about girls. And who better to test
    out their theories on than arrogant Luke Preston? Emily, the three friends decide, will be the perfect person to try it
    out and report back. After all, Luke would never suspect the nice little Emily he knew way back when…But Emily's
    not what she used to be.

    Before she knows it, however, the experiment has gone horribly wrong. Wrong in that Emily finds herself falling
    head over heels for her experiment!

    THE BOOK OF LUKE is a funny, original story guaranteed to have readers fascinated from first page to last! This
    fresh, honest novel is full of amazing characters and excellent writing. Jenny O'Connell is a smart, talented author;
    I'm really looking forward to seeing what she writes next! This is contemporary fiction at its best; readers will not be
    disappointed.
