Getting the Girl : A Guide to Private Investigation, Surveillance, and Cookery

Getting the Girl
Author(s): Susan Juby

Meet Sherman Mack.

Short. Nerdy. Amateur P.I. And prepared to do anything for Dini Trioli, tenth-grade goddess.

Nobody knows how the tradition began, but every girl at Harewood Tech fears being D-listed, a ritual that wipes her off the social map forever. When Sherman believes Dini is in danger of being D-listed, he launches a full-scale investigation to save her. Part comedy, part mystery, and with all of Juby’s trademark laugh-out-loud style, Getting the Girl takes on the cruelest aspect of high school social life.

Meet Sherman Mack, the only one willing to fight back.

Review(s):
“As always, Juby endows her endearing characters with quirky, comedic voices and original backgrounds.”
“Juby again demonstrates her ability to tell a story that’s richly colored all the way to the edges.”
“A fun read with a message.”
“As if appealing to both genders and espousing integrity weren’t enough, the story is often funny, with an endearing main character. GETTING THE GIRL is a pursuit worth undertaking.”
“Clever, smart, and wryly observant, [with] an impressive array of convincingly quirky, original characters.”
