The Summer of Passion, to be exact, when Jory Michaels plans to explore all the possibilities of the future--and, with any luck, score a boyfriend in the process. But Jory has a problem. A big problem. A curvy, honking, bumpy, problem in the form of her Super Schnozz, the one thing standing between Jory and happiness. And now, with the Summer of Passion stretched before her like an open road, she's determined for Super Schnozz to disappear. Jory takes a job delivering wedding cakes to save up for a nose job at the end of the summer; she even keeps a book filled with magazine cutouts of perfect noses to show the doctor. But nothing is ever easy for accident-prone Jory--and before she knows it, her Summer of Passion falls apart faster than the delivery van she crashes. In her hilarious and heartbreaking debut novel, Sydney Salter delivers a story about broadening your horizons, accepting yourself, and finding love right under your nose. 5770307 1 4 2009 My Big Nose & Other Natural Disasters total:92|5:26|4:30|3:26|2:8|1:2| 92 346 335 44 5 2 false false Mon Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 09:02:57 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:49:33 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 21:48:30 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 21:49:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 25 15:39:27 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 24 19:26:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Apr 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 09:39:32 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 09:39:32 -0700 2009 Courtesy of BLT: booksandliteratureforteens.blogspot.com
