"description": "<p>\"That was my life until ninth grade, my most excellent year. And then I got drop-kicked by a six-year-old kid and the girl of my dreams.\"<br /> <br /> There are only three great loves in T.C. Keller's life: the Red Sox, his father, and his best friend and unofficial \"brother\", Augie. But ninth grade is the year when he falls head-over-cheats in love with Alé Perez. She's pretty, sassy, smart and a great dancer. Alé is so busying playing hard to get that she doesn't realize that she just might be falling head-over-tap shoes for T.C.'s Boston accent, too. Meanwhile, T.C.'s best friend, Augie, is falling in love as well, but with a boy? It may not be so clear to him; but to the rest of his family and friends, it's totally obvious that Augie, who loves musicals and old school screen sirens such as Judy Garland, is head-over-heels in love with Andy Wexler.<br /> Told in alternating perspectives, this is the story of their most excellent year, where these three friends discover themselves, love and that a little magic and Mary Poppins can go a long way.</p>",
