Description

Joe has a girlfriend, but her dad hates him. Can his relationship survive?

Quick Summary

A teenage programmer faces the ultimate challenge: winning over his girlfriend's father who happens to be a tech-phobic school principal determined to keep him away from his daughter. The story bursts with witty tech banter, relatable middle school drama, and clever problem-solving as Joe uses his programming skills to navigate both romance and family chaos. If your kid loves the humor and heart of "Diary of a Would-be Princess: The Journal of Jillian James, 5B a Would-be Princess: The Journal of Jillian James, 5B Wimpy Kid" or the smart underdog vibes of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret," they'll devour this geek-filled romance. Perfect for kids ages 10-14 in grades 5-8 who enjoy stories about smart outsiders navigating friendship, first love, and intimidating adults.
