BLURB:
Emma G. is CRAZY about
Aaron, lead singer of Boyz3000. Of course, she doesn’t actually know him, but
so what? Feelings are feelings. That is until Josh appears… and he’s soooooo
CUTE. Navigating her two crushes and her middle school life, especially with
eighth-grade hater Renee around, is a challenge. And oh yeah, she’s got to earn
money for an AWESOME trip to the Bahamas

EXCERPT:
OMG!!! My heart was racing like it was going crazy. Lights
began flashing from everyone’s phones and people were Instagramming pictures of
the band to their friends and posting them. I tried to take pictures but my
hands were shaking so much from excitement that the pictures were blurry. Jenny
wasn’t taking any either because she was shaking too. Everyone was screaming
and yelling and crying. Two girls fainted and were carried out to get some
water.
I was screaming too. I took a selfie of me screaming and
then one of Jenny screaming. Her mouth was open so wide I think I was taking a
picture of her tonsils!!!
I could see all the Boyz3000 faces very clearly because we
were so close up, but especially Aaron’s. I was watching him and trying to take
his picture while I was screaming, but my hands were still shaking too much to
get good shots, so I stopped trying and just watched him. His expressions were
sooo sincere as he sang. His cute hair was falling over his eyes and those eyes
were sooo adorable. And his collar was open on his shirt, and I could even see
the sweat on his neck.
The drummer, Pete, was setting a great rhythm, and Cory, the
bass player that Jenny loves, was twirling and leaping, and then he was leaning
back, playing his bass like he was the greatest rock star in the universe. And
then Jenny started screaming even louder than before, and she was jumping up
and down and her arms were waving at the bass player!
And then…
Boyz3000 started to come down onto the runway that we were
right next to.
Everyone was trying to reach out to them and I was right on
the aisle and reaching out too.
And then it happened…

RispondiEliminaThank you so much for hosting this tour and giveaway. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share Emma G.'s world. Her world was mine too: a love of writing and music and, of course, the excitement of that first crush. Emma G. was actually based on a real first crush story and I'd love to hear from readers because so many of us have those same feelings. Taro
