How to Drive Your Family Crazy on Valentine's Day

by Dean Marney

Lizzie, Scott, Sybil and their teacher are all sucked into the class Valentine Box-and swept to another world! Endearing characters and wacky situations make this Valentine story one of a kind!

Lizzy hates Valentine's Day. she is certainly not one to go in for all that mushiness and sap stuff. Puh-lease! Especially since she's got other things on her mind. First of all, there's this new girl at school who almost everyone thinks is "perfect"-including Lizzie's friend Scott. (It looks like he's crushin on her hardcore!) Lizzie doesn't care...much. She's got other problems to deal with-like the fact that she's seeing things no one else can see. And the big Valentine Box in her classroom is sucking people in and whisking them off to some strange dimension! No doubt about it, this is going to be the strangest Valentine's Day yet for Lizzie and company. A definite adventure. And no sap. (That's a promise).

i havent gotten far on this book at all because i needed to start reading it so i could have three books to write about in my book report! but anyways i am on page 2! so far i have read that a girl names Lizzie doesnt enjoy Valentines day and she hates making cards! she also thinks her family is strict! by the title i am guessing that she is going to make this a very memorable valentines day this year

Don't let the rather basic synopsis fool you--I rated this five stars purely because it is quite literally the WEIRDEST holiday-themed book I have ever seen. It is Alice in Wonderland meets a fever dream meets pink. Seriously, this book is so surreal I had to read it like three times as a kid because I was convinced I'd missed something and everything couldn't really be as off as it seemed. But I absolutely loved it for that too. What a wild ride.

I thought this was a cute chapter book about a young girl who hates Valentine's Day and everything about it. She ends up learning more about herself as she goes through an adventure through the book.

This book was greatly disturbing to me.
Confusing, weird, crazy and creepy.

I read this a long time ago, but I definitely remember the crazy part in this book. It scared me at the time.
