Tomboy glows up so she can compete with the prettiest girl in school to win her best guy friend's heart and maybe get her first kiss before she moves away at the end of the summer.
~~~~~~~
It's summer vacation 1957, and 15-year-old Charley Mason would love nothing more than to play baseball every day with her best guy friends and spend time with her beloved grandmother who lives with her June through August, just like she's done every summer for the past ten years. Only problem is, her parents just announced her Grandma has Alzheimer's and they're moving in with her before school starts in the fall. That means leaving behind the love of her life and best friend of all time, Frankie Deluccio. With her Sweet Sixteen party and the Catholic Young Lady's Cotillion looming on the horizon - not to mention the town princess Christina Battaglia moving in on her dream boy - Charley will have to make a tough decision: is it finally time to trade her baseball bat and mitt for some lipstick and high heels? Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Charley's about to find out just how far she'll go to win this game of love.
