Lover Boy

Ryan has been tagged ``Lover Boy'' by the girl who taught him to kiss, but he finds the flattering name a handicap when he wants to date another girl, Laura. Ryan has been sparring with Laura, aka ``The Libber,'' for years, but he really begins to notice her during their reading of Much Ado About Nothing. Laura's liberated ideas are more in defense of her emotions than any real break from traditional girlish roles, however, and once the two sort out their reputations, all's well that ends well. This formula romance offers a refreshing and chaste look at high school love from the boy's point of view. Ages 12-up. (Apr.)
