Miranda Bloom’s life has never been better. Shefinally has an almost-quasi-boyfriend, Dex McConnell,the star lacrosse player of Orange Cove High. Butwhen holiday break rolls around, she jets off to visither mother in London, and Dex suddenly seems tolose all interest in her. Then there’s Henry, the verycute and very available British guy who complicatesmatters by making it clear that he’s very interestedin Miranda. Things don’t get easier for her when classes start backup at Geek High. Between the dreaded Math Teamcompetitions, an annoyingly love-struck best friend,and a stepmother who seems to delight in makingMiranda miserable, it doesn’t take a genius to seethat the semester ahead is going to be tough.
