But despite a change in her own feelings for Tyler, Kat sees herself as a “warthog” because of her braces, glasses, and two left feet.
Tyler starts to become interested in Olivia, but it’s a farce – readers know it’s really Kat, not her popularity-driven cousin, whom Tyler likes. So begins Project Ty-Livia, which involves Kat providing Olivia with cheat sheets about Tyler, pretending to be Olivia when playing online video games, and prompting her cousin with the right answers to Tyler’s questions.
Kat agrees to help Olivia get Tyler’s attention and an invite to the school’s first dance. But Tyler, who recently started attending Kat’s school, is now on the radar of every girl in Grade 7, including Kat’s best friend and cousin, Olivia.
Twelve-year-old Kat and her next-door neighbour, Tyler, have a lot in common: they both like playing Zombie Slashers, watching anime movies, reading fantasy books, and volunteering at a local animal shelter. In a middle-grade twist on the classic tale of Cyrano de Bergerac’s clandestine wooing of the fair Roxane on behalf of the tongue-tied Christian, Joanne Levy, author of the very funny Small Medium at Large, confirms that first loves aren’t always as innocent or simple as often suggested.
