After Ever After (9780545292788) (2010)
“ She came as a princess. He came as a duck. The dance should have been a massive disaster, but somehow it worked. Thus, before the great disappointments of his later adolescence, before the terrible ordeals he faced during his second and third years as an eighth grader, Jeffrey Alper had one nearly perfect night.
Legend has it that Lindsey Abraham, despite her famous wit, was secretly a romantic at heart. Perhaps that is why she decided to attend the Halloween festivities at East Village Middl...e School dressed as Cinderella. Unfortunately, through some miscommunication that has been lost to the sands of time, Jeffrey was only told to dress as a Disney character — without any more specific directions that might have led him to choose a Prince Charming costume. So, after many hours of consultation with his most trusted friend and sometime math tutor, Thaddeus Ibsen, Jeffrey met Lindsey in the lobby of the school on the night of the dance in a hand-me-down Donald Duck outfit.
Try to imagine, through the mist of the intervening century, the horrifying tableau: She appears from behind a pillar, gorgeous in silk of the palest blue and purest white.MoreLess
