Overview

Thirteen-year-old Ted, a shy introvert raised in the sexually repressive fifties and sixties, has trouble understanding girls--especially how differently they seem to view romance and sex. Along with four brothers, he and his military family are forever moving and changing schools. Ted has to contend with a heartlessly bullying older brother as he struggles to make sense of the less-than-accurate advice he receives from his brothers, his peers, and his church about what girls want. When his first girlfriend suddenly dumps him, Ted tries to win her back by redefining himself, but his efforts are stymied by a crumbling family life, ongoing relocations, and the possibility of being drafted for the Vietnam War. Could Ted's inability to move beyond the loss of his first love be related to a basic misunderstanding of human sexuality?
