Heaven Is Paved With Oreos

Sarah Zorn has had enough with being teased that she and best pal Curtis harbor secret feelings for each other. Allowing everyone to believe they really are an item is the only solution. But pretending proves difficult as stronger feelings emerge. When Sarah's zany but loveable grandmother invites her on a well-timed Roman holiday, Sarah jumps at the chance to discover Italy and escape Wisconsin and the awkward situation with Curtis. The trip holds plenty of surprises for Sarah, however, about the nature of friendship, family secrets, and first love. This humorous, romantic romp by Catherine Gilbert Murdock, author of the critically-acclaimed Dairy Queen series, is a sweet and easy read, perfect for the middle-school audience.
