Jean and Johnny

ebook

Newbery Medal winner Beverly Cleary brings her classic warm humor to this funny and touching story about a girl who lacks self-confidence, and a boy who has too much.

Fifteen-year-old Jean is astonished when handsome Johnny whirls her around the dance floor. She's never given much thought to boys before; now Johnny is all that's on her mind.

Finally she finds the courage to invite him to a dance. But the excitement of a new dress and a scheme to take Johnny's photograph cannot stop Jean's growing uneasiness that she likes Johnny a lot more than he likes her . . .



  • A Classic Young Adult Romance: Jean Jarrett is fifteen, shy, and has never thought about boys—until a dance with handsome Johnny changes everything.
  • Stories About Self-Confidence: A touching and funny journey of navigating the anxieties of a first crush and discovering your own worth, even when the boy you like has too much confidence and you have too little.
  • A Shy Girl Hero: Perfect for readers who love nostalgic, heartwarming tales. Follow Jean as she learns that who you are is more important than who you have a crush on.
  • A Nostalgic High School Story: From school dances to secret schemes with her best friend, Beverly Cleary perfectly captures the ups and downs of teenage life in this timeless and relatable novel.
