His new locker neighbor is Melody Hennon--class outcast and certified freak. Everyone at school keeps their distance from Melody because she was burned in a childhood accident. Leon has avoided her too, until the day he takes a chance, tells her a bad joke, and makes her laugh. No one, least of all Leon, could have predicted that Melody would turn out to be a funny, smart, and interesting person, or that he and Melody would become good friends . . . and later, more than friends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when junior class hottie Amy Green asks Leon out after he saves her from getting detention, his devotion to Melody hangs in the balance. Leon tries to find a way out of this nasty dilemma without hurting anyone, but soon he realizes--a little too late--that playing with someone's heart is as dangerous as playing with matches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA 2009 ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Rh Childrens Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45354128834711,"sku":"9780385735452","price":663.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780385735452.webp?v=1767669211","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/playing-with-matches-9780385735452","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
