In Kimberly Karalius's First Kisses and Other Misfortunes, two boys discover that true love is harder than it looks, even in the charming town of Grimbaud, in this lovely novella from the author of Love Fortunes and Other Disasters. Nico is worried. Again. After freeing Martin from the illegal love charms of his evil ex-girlfriend, Nico was sure that their love would be the perfect romance he'd been waiting for. But it's been months and Nico's still waiting for his first kiss. Between Martin's dedication to student government and Nico's responsibilities at his family's tourism business, there's been no time for romance or kisses. Fortunately, the Canal Festival is coming up and like all Grimbaud events, it will be filled with romance...especially the Water Parade, Nico's favorite part. And this year, Nico will be the captain of his own small boat! It's the perfect opportunity for a romantic (and hopefully kiss-filled) date with his boyfriend. There's just one small problem: Martin is afraid of drowning. Will Nico's dreams of a romantic first kiss be sunk before they are even launched?

Every person has one ‘First Kiss’ story. God cares, and so should you. The principal called my parents informing them about some disruptive playground behavior. I was entertaining myself by kissing my fingers; stretching my arm out and chasing boys with girl germs. I enjoyed their looks of horror and that had power to make them run! Isn’t it interesting that youth have a desire for sexual purity? They cringe at the thought of germs from the opposite sex. We don’t have to teach them purity. We can combat media that perpetuates the belief that a kiss will miraculously heal the body and innermost being. The beast doesn’t become a charming man. The frog doesn’t become a prince. I have written a book to help dispel the myth. It is written for grade schoolers because that is the age media aims the myths. Join me in the battle for the mind! 2 Timothy 2:21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. Spoiler alert: Star doesn't kiss anyone. After hearing the stories of her parents and grandparents she decides to wait a long time. Until she might marry the person.
