For example, the central characters in "An X-Rated Romance", the eighth graders Emily and Sara, decide to seduce their English teacher, but completely lack any understanding of what is involved. The confrontations and scenarios that evolve are similarly funny. The perspectives change from one book to the next, providing additional hilarity.
