Calliope Day Falls . . . In Love? Book

It’s just another Sunday at Spackle’s Roller Rink for Calliope Day and her best friend, Noreen Catherwood. Until Calliope discovers the red love poem someone has stuck in Noreen’s pistachio ice cream. Calliope is intrigued–who is this mystery poet? His humor reminds her of her father, who died of cancer. Can there really be a boy out there like him? This is a boy she’d like to meet. But why is he sending love poems to Noreen and not to her? She was named for a Greek muse after all! If anyone can find out the mystery poet’s identity, it’s Calliope. She quickly narrows her suspects down to two boys. But it turns out there’s more than one mystery poet. And plenty of poetry to go around.

Publishers Weekly

The utterly outrageous girl named after a Greek muse, who made her debut in Meet Calliope Day, returns in Calliope Day Falls... in Love? by Charles Haddad, illus. by Margeaux Lucas. The resourceful heroine is thrown for a loop when she discovers a love poem to her best friend, the incredibly rich Noreen Catherwood. Can the mystery poet be bratty Rodney, who always seems to be-literally-bumping into the girls? Brainiac Kevin is another possibility. Calliope causes plenty of absurd crises as she uses all of her considerable imagination to crack the mystery. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
