Meet Biff: weird, wild-haired, recovering pinball addict. He's eighteen but looks more like fourteen, and it drives him crazy. He's never had a girlfriend, can't talk to girls without freezing up, and isn't quite sure about the human race in general. Biff's immediate concern, however, is Tommie, the girl he's had a crush on for the past twenty-three months. Maybe it's about time he got up the nerve to say more to her than "Hi."
Then Biff meets Heidi: beautiful, smart-mouthed, cigarette smoker. She's here visiting her aunt in Seattle because she's been suspended from her high school for who-knows-what reason. Biff has never found himself getting such a kick out of being with someone, even though she often drives him crazy.
This is the romantic, comic story of two quirky, imperfect people who couldn't possibly fit into each other's lives, but do, sort of.

When Milo is in fifth grade, his parents get divorced, and his teacher, Ms. Swinford, helps him make it through the year. He loves hearing her sing “The Happy Wanderer” and reminisce about the year she lived in Switzerland during college, practically on the misty slopes of the Matterhorn. The Matterhorn! During the next five years, Milo moves through the mists of Washington State – from place to place and school to school – while his mother tries to figure out what to do with her life. Along the way, he tries to “seek the truth,” as his free-spirited father urged him to do before he left, but he never forgets Ms. Swinford and her tales of Switzerland. Then, when he gets the chance to see Ms. Swinford again, his understanding of what is true is shaken.With the authentic teen voice and quirky characters he’s known for, Randy Powell tells a thoughtful story about a loner searching for his own path in a constantly changing world.
