Books with title New Guys Around The Block

Seventeen-year-old Mark Lender loves running track but has no track record with the ladies—that’s something he’s looking to change. He is shocked when the interest of two girls takes him from Mr. Backstage to Mr. Centerstage. Katy Mancer seems obsessed with him, but she’s oblivious to fashion—or reality, so her advances only give Mark’s bullies a bigger target. Then there’s Angel Hayden, a six-foot-one home run-hitting jock, who’s so popular she parties with college guys and is way too experienced for a guy like Mark who’s never made it to first base. He can either learn quickly or strikeout.

Around the Block is a rhythmic tale about one boy's adventure around the block and beyond. His adventure begins with a casual walk down the street, until he meets an old woman that gives him a raft that sets him off on an extraordinary adventure...an adventure that eventually leads him to a group of outlaw pirates that are as lost on the open ocean as he is. These pirates soon realize that the young boy can lead them back to their mother (the old woman) and they will share the journey home together.
