Jimmy Harris has a lot to learn about girls. Then again, what sixth grade boy doesn't? As the sixth grade begins, Jimmy promptly finds himself in love with not one, but two girls. What's a boy to do? Luckily, he has football to distract him, and as the big game approaches, Jimmy must make a very big decision, perhaps the biggest in his young life. "Jimmy and the Monroe Mustangs" is a coming-of-age, young adult novel that features one very special sixth-grade boy who loves football and girls...but not necessarily in that order.
