KATE'S AN IN-BETWEEN GIRL. . . . Not as sweet as her big sister, not as cute as the little one. Kate Fleming feels like a third bookend. That's why she's surprised when Ross Barrows, one of the most popular boys in school, asks her out. Unsure of how she should act, Kate comes on like someone she's not. But only Kate herself can decide whether to keep a solemn promise to her parents . . . or risk losing Ross. [text from book jacket]
