FifteenJane Purdy tells herself this as she begins an afternoon of babysitting. Luck is on her side, too -- for whom should she meet but Stan Crandall: good-looking, friendly, and brand-new in town. And he wants to take Jane out! But Jane, just an ordinary girl, is filled with doubts. Suppose her parents won't let her go? What if she makes a fool of herself? Or worse -- what if her father embarrasses her in front of Stan? Jane has finally met the boy of her dreams. Is she ready for him? |
