Worldwide Crush

By Kristin Nilsen

Rory Calhoun is a teen popstar with perfect teeth and messy hair who's inspiring first crushes all over the globe. Millie Jackson is just one of the millions of fans who love him--but that doesn't mean her heart doesn't break for him every single day in this laugh-out-loud coming-of-age story.

How many of Rory's fans collect "data" about him in a special notebook hidden in their underwear drawer? Or have faked a fascination with whale migration for a chance to visit his hometown? Millie may not be Rory's only fan at Susan B. Anthony Middle School, but she's convinced she's the biggest--and the best.

Rory's new song "Worldwide Crush" is climbing the charts, and his lyrics are clear: he's looking for love--and he's looking in the audience. Meaning Millie's secret fantasies of running in the surf and eating waffles with him may not be crazy after all . . . she could be that girl But first she has to get to his concert--his completely sold-out concert in a city nowhere near her home for which she does not have tickets or a ride. She just has to figure out how.
