Emma G. Loves Boyz: A True Love Journal

ENRE: YA/Middle Grade
BLURB:
Emma G. is CRAZY
about Aaron, lead singer of Boyz3000. Of course, she doesn’t actually know him,
but so what? Feelings are feelings. That is until Josh appears… and he’s
soooooo CUTE. Navigating her two crushes and her middle school life, especially
with eighth-grade hater Renee around, is a challenge. And oh yeah, she’s got to
earn money for an AWESOME trip to the Bahamas to see the band of her dreams.
Hello???? How much can one thirteen-year-old take???
Excerpt:
OMG!!! My heart was racing like it
was going crazy. Lights began flashing from everyone’s phones and people were
Instagramming pictures of the band to their friends and posting them. I tried
to take pictures but my hands were shaking so much from excitement that the
pictures were blurry. Jenny wasn’t taking any either because she was shaking
too. Everyone was screaming and yelling and crying. Two girls fainted and were
carried out to get some water.
I was screaming too. I took a selfie
of me screaming and then one of Jenny screaming. Her mouth was open so wide I
think I was taking a picture of her tonsils!!!
I could see all the Boyz3000 faces
very clearly because we were so close up, but especially Aaron’s. I was
watching him and trying to take his picture while I was screaming, but my hands
were still shaking too much to get good shots, so I stopped trying and just
watched him. His expressions were sooo sincere as he sang. His cute hair was
falling over his eyes and those eyes were sooo adorable. And his collar was
open on his shirt, and I could even see the sweat on his neck.
The drummer, Pete, was setting a
great rhythm, and Cory, the bass player that Jenny loves, was twirling and
leaping, and then he was leaning back, playing his bass like he was the
greatest rock star in the universe. And then Jenny started screaming even
louder than before, and she was jumping up and down and her arms were waving at
the bass player!
And then…
Boyz3000 started to come down onto
the runway that we were right next to.
Everyone was trying to reach out to
them and I was right on the aisle and reaching out too.
And then it happened…

Thank you so much for hosting this tour and giveaway. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share Emma G.'s world. Her world was mine too: a love of writing and music and, of course, the excitement of that first crush. Emma G. was actually based on a real first crush story and I'd love to hear from readers because so many of us have those same feelings. Taro
