(4) YA Hotshot Brandon entrusts band geek Kevin with the senior ritual of obtaining measurements of the girls in their class. Kevin's newfound popularity comes at the expense of the women in his life, including his mom and the pretty girl next door. The book gets across its message without being too preachy, but cardboard characters--virtuous girls vs. juvenile boys--reinforce stereotypes.
