What You Wish For - by Katherine Center

 


When her former crush Duncan Campbell shows up as the new principal at librarian Samantha Casey's school she hardly recognizes the straight-laced stick-in-the-mud from the fun-loving goofball she knew four-years before. There was "nothing likable...to love". He was simply a "dickish boss". Well, you can guess how this plays out.

The story takes places in Texas at a private school where kids are voracious readers and check out 10 books at a time. Of course if it were a public school in Texas there would hardly be any books to check out of the library these days.

Principal Campbell has a Goldendoodle called Chuck Norris who he brings to campus for "security purposes". Chuck Norris turns out to be actually quite lovable, except for his nasty habit of eating books, which Duncan promises to pay for.

No big surprises in this one. A good end-of-summer read.
