In His Kiss — Neil Plakcy

Michael Torani thinks of himself as an average seventeen-year-old  -- certainly not the smartest nor the most popular boy in his school. So he has no clue that his crush on super cute but nerdy new guy Daniel Florez will soon result in their sharing a deep soul kiss  -- a kiss that will change Michael's life forever. Suddenly, he's plunged into a world of FBI agents, gangster thugs, and Cuban exiles. And what's up with his brain? How come he's so much smarter than he used to be?
Just one kiss from Daniel turns Michael's world into something from the Sci-Fi Channel -- have Daniel's brain cells been leaking into Michael's? How's that possible? And yet Michael is reading faster than he ever has before, scoring higher on school tests, and even helping his parents understand what's wrong with his brother, the Big Mistake.
Michael's wry, funny attitude about growing up, falling in love and getting away from his parents will make you want to be his new best friend. Readers will fall in love with Michael and Daniel as they depend on their brains and their deep emotional connection to survive-- and maybe even graduate from high school along the way.
