Book Overview
A fun, fast-paced romantic comedy Sixteen-year-old Stan Claxton is recruited to coach his best friend, Ginny, a nationally ranked junior tennis player, through a local tournament. He is also supposed to find out why she has recently fallen into a slump. As Stan and Ginny slowly figure out just how their friendship will proceed, readers will delight in a quirky assortment of characters: Guballa and Wilcutts, Stan's other best friends, who both have the hots for Ginny; a female aerobics instructor with an incredible body and aface like Humphrey Bogart's; a glamorous unranked tennis player who might be a thief; Clinkt Eastwood - maybe; and the sophisticated Lord Boxton, one of Stan's tennis heroes, who previously owned the world's most expensive racquet. And then there are the whistling toilets. But readers will have to wait until the end of the novel to find out about those.By no means a novel for sports lovers only, Randy Powell's latest assortment of likable eccentrics will win over readers of all predilections.

I was at the library one day when I found this book on the shelf. I first noticed the cover and then I noticed the title. It totally caught my attention and I thought it would be fun to read so I checked it out. It is SUCH a good book!!!... I could seriously not put it down. I just finished reading it today and take my word for it-this book is one of the best! I was into it the whole way through! ITS AWESOME!

This is the greatest book EVER. I bought it because the title made me laugh, and I found out that the rest of the book was just as funny. This is the book that got me interested in tennis, and Im going to play on my school team next year because of it. I think that Stan seems like a very real teenage boy, and so does Ginny. My favorite character was Antonia Wheeler. Although, I did really like some minor characters like LeRoy Blankenship and the man in the bathroom. Id recomend this book to anyone.
I Love this Book!!

This book is really good. Its about this girl who gets weirded out because her Tennis teacher kissed her. Then her best friends starts to have feelings foir her, and it gets complicated. It was written really well, IMHO, and I really reccomend it.
This book was amazing!

When I first looked at this book, I was a little nervous because the title was somewhat strange. But once i started reading it, I could NOT put it down. It was amazing. Great writing, and I would definetly read it again. I recommend it to anyone between the ages of 13 and 18, even though I read it when I was 12. I think all teenagers can relate to it.
