Miss Match

Thirteen-year-old entrepreneur Polly Corbett has a good idea—no, a great idea—for the upcoming end-of-year dance at her middle school.

While almost everyone in the seventh and eighth grades has a crush, none of them are brave enough to ask anyone to the dance. That’s where Polly and her friends’ matchmaking service comes in. But setting up dates for middle-schoolers isn’t as easy as it seems. Polly and her friends face unexpected obstacles and uncomfortable truths as they discover the ups and downs of running a business and dating.
