Seventeen-year-old Gemma's favorite kind of beach is an empty one. Social interactions are too much for her to handle, and while she wishes she had more friends, she'd rather observe people from afar than risk embarrassing herself during a face-to-face interaction. She always says the wrong thing - if she even manages to say anything at all. The few times her longtime crush, Beau Booker, spoke to her, she went completely mute. During a solo outing to her favorite beach, Gemma realizes, to her horror, that the popular kids from school have suddenly shown up to throw a party. Before she can sneak away (and possibly puke behind her car) Gemma is pulled into the action and ends up talking to Beau... who asks her to "pretend to be his girlfriend." Gemma is too flustered and flattered to refuse, and spends a glorious afternoon boating with Beau... until he falls off the boat, hits his head, and almost drowns. Gemma pulls him out of the water and gives him CPR. At the hospital, Gemma whispers to herself that she's in love with Beau and is overheard by a nurse who mistakes Gemma for Beau's girlfriend and introduces her to his family as such. Beau's Mom is thrilled to find out that Beau had a girlfriend, and Gemma becomes so overwhelmed and anxious and can't bring herself to tell them the truth. The more time Gemma spends with the Bookers, the more she falls in love with the entire family (although it seems that Beau's sister suspects the truth). Then, Beau wakes up, but since he has short term memory loss, he has no trouble believing that Gemma IS his girlfriend. For the first time in her life, Gemma has everything she's ever wanted. But how can she embrace her new dream life when everything is built on a lie?

"If one million kids climbed onto one another's shoulders, they would be taller than the tallest buildings, higher than the highest mountains, and farther up than airplanes can fly."Author Schwartz, along with illustrator Steven Kellogg, bends over backward to help young readers conceptualize - and more importantly visualize - how much a million actually is. He engages the help of Marvelosissimo the Magician. Marvelosissimo magically stands a million children on each other's shoulders. He waves his wand to create a goldfish bowl for a million goldfish - and large enough for a whale. He conjures 100,000 stars spanning seven pages of the book: now just take this seven-page journey ten times. Readers will be awestruck as a million begins to make sense. Now how much is a billion? No question is too difficult for Marvelosissimo. Waving his magic wand, he stacks a billion kids into a human tower reaching past the moon. A goldfish bowl for a billion goldfish would be as big as a stadium. Even the concept of a trillion is grappled with here with breathtaking finesse. An author's note at the book's conclusion clearly explains in detail the different calculations used to imaginatively illustrate each numerical concept. In the case of the goldfish, Schwartz writes, "As a general rule, an aquarium should hold one gallon of water for every one-inch goldfish. That means that a million goldfish would require a million gallons of water," and so on. Written in part to combat what Schwartz sees as an increasing problem in innumeracy, Schwartz has written an important, accessible book that is a must for every classroom.
