As the prospective valedictorian, wide receiver, and favored tenor in show choir, Jake knows he’s at the top of his game. He sets his sights on Lexi, the hottest girl at Palmdale High and can’t miss. However, racing to class one morning, he plows into Penelope, the pudgy new girl. Books and paper fly everywhere. He helps her with her things, even holds her hand so she can stand up.
CLICK!
Someone snaps a picture and sends the text all over school. Egged on by his friends and desperate to squash any rumors before Lexi gets back from Mexico, he does something juvenile. NOT his brightest idea. As punishment, he must tutor Penelope three days a week. Her grade is now his grade. He sees his chance at a full-ride scholarship disappearing faster than a missed field goal. And to make matters worse, Lexi sides with Penelope.
“The Penny Project is a wonderful example of the power of kindness and friendship in the lives of more than just the one being bullied. Every teen should read this. Just don’t forget a box of tissues.” – Laura D. Bastian, author of Eye on Orion
“This book made me cry. In a good way. I never cry.” – Scott Ashby, author of Destruction at Decima
“This book is a good read for young (and even not so young) adults. It is well written with characters that I really came to love, and it has a great message that everyone should take to heart.” – Dr. Rebecca Temp
