From the Newbery Honor author of Hope Was Here, Thwonk isa delightful story overflowing with funny, stylish writing.

Imagine having a personal cupid-an actual winged being-pop into your life and offer to make your dreams come true. The catch is he can help you in only one way- artistically, academically, or romantically. That's what happens to aspiring photographer Allison Jean (A. J.) McCreary. A. J. knows she should concentrate on getting into a top-notch art school. But she's spent five torturous months obsessed with handsome hunk, Peter Terris. Just one shot from the cupid's bow and thwonk, A. J. will have the undying devotion of handsome Peter...forever.

Reviews for Thwonk

Praise for Thwonk... Bauer's buoyant narrative will elicit chuckles as it delivers its message (thwonk!) with the accuracy of a well-aimed arrow from Cupid. -- Publisher's Weekly Bauer's forcefully funny writing remains stylish from start to finish. -- BCCB, on Thwonk More praise for Newbery Honor author and New York Times best-seller Joan Bauer... Full of fabulous and somewhat flamoyant characters, witty dialogue and memorable scenes... Bauer's best yet. -- SLJ, starred review, on Rules of the Road Rich with engaging characters, a light love interest, and dramatic tension in a well-paced plot, this is another great read from Bauer. -- SLJ, on Backwater When it comes to creating strong, idependent, and funny teenaged female characters, Bauer is in a class by herself. -- SLJ, starred review, on Hope Was Here This laugh-out-loud story is a delight...Ellie proves herself an all-around winner. So is Max and so is this book. -- SLJ, starred review, on Squashed
