Just before winter break, Natalie got "the cutest note" from Derek. Now, he's all she can think about, Nat has a huge crush. When they get back to school, Derek stops by her locker and lends her a comic book, she returns it at lunch and suddenly Nat's friends are forgotten and everything is about "Derek". But as the Valentine's Dance approaches, and Derek still hasn't asked her - Natalie decides to ask him herself.
Maria Scrivan's "Nat" books are great! Fully relatable to upper elementary and middle school, with full color illustrations throughout. There's a scene with a kid campaigning for class president with a soft serve ice cream machine! I loved this so much! Still grinning as I write this review. Wonderful!
