Can Bingo Brown live up to his reputation as the most romantic middle-schooler in town? Romance is never easy when your girlfriend lives in another state and your life savings consists of just over three dollars. Still, thirteen-year-old Bingo Brown is determined to make it work. His girlfriend, Melissa, may have moved to the middle of nowhere (okay, Oklahoma), but nothing will stop him from keeping the flames of passion alive. He tries to think of a holiday gift to impress her-but he keeps getting distracted by his parents' plans for their new baby. How will he craft perfect love letters for Melissa while his little brother cries in the next room? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Betsy Byars including rare images from the author's personal collection.
