Narrado por: Moira Todd

Kathy, whose brain is over-saturated with Victorian novels, falls for Wyatt, the boy with all the verbs. It's your classic case of a shy gal running screaming from love.

To look through the eyes of an innocent girl again

This is a very short look at the world through the eyes of a young girl, with her first crush on a boy, and the emotional rollercoaster she encounters, as they encounter each other through their daily school activities. However, as is normal with the young at heart, each look, encounter and touch is analysed and relived, blowing each situation well out of hand.

Great short story!

This story took me back to what it was like to have a crush on that special someone and hoped they felt the same!

Why I'm Thrilled NOT To Be A Teen!

What a lovely short, sweet, silly novel--well, short story--which ultimately provides a terrific model for learning to cope and exploring the concept of interacting with the opposite sex once boys no longer have cooties (okay, some of them will ALWAYS have cooties). In fact that sentence may be longer than the story.

I neither read nor wrote poetry, Victorian or otherwise, but the feelings shared are pretty much universal to being a teenage girl with a bit of a crush on a guy. (Not being gender specific or exclusive--the FEELINGS are pretty much the same no matter to whom you are attracted--but this is written from the standpoint of a girl liking a boy.) The narrator Moira Todd (AUDIO) has a perfect voice for the heroine and manages the other characters (including male) quite nicely, too. A perfect nugget.get.

Short, sweet listen

This audiobook was a nice story to listen to over lunch! The narration was well done and the story brings back days when I was much younger than I am now. Overall, a good listen!

Rushed and Cheesy, but Cute

I thought this book was cute, but the characters were pretty cheesy as well as unrealistic. The whole plot seemed really rushed as well. Maybe I’m just not one for short stories, but I didn’t find this one anything more than okay.
