"Another thrilling day at Neil Armstrong Middle and
Elementary School," you think, with studied irony,
as you get off the bus, trying to look as cool and
bored as the other eighth graders. In truth, though,
you really are a little excited and nervous, because
today is Valentine's Day, and you have a special job
to do, delivering Enterprise Candy Grams to classes
all around the building. And best (and worst) of all,
your delivery partner will be Judy, on whom you've
had an incredible crush since before you knew what a
crush was."
You are Doug DeGrace, a lanky, thirteen-year old
eighth grade student at the only public school in
Nom de Plume, North Dakota, a town of five thousand
souls in the north central part of the United States,
which boasts of being "The Coldest French-Named Town
in the EN-tire US of A." Today's temperature does
nothing to contradict the town's unofficial slogan.
As you enter the middle school side of the building,
which is totally separate from the section for kids
younger than ten, you see a huge red poster
advertising the biggest social event of the year,
the Valentine's Day Dance. The dance is tonight,
but you're not at all sure you'll be going. After a
quick trip to your locker, you arrive at the middle
school cafeteria, where your school day starts.
Can you guide Doug to a successful delivery of
candy grams, and perhaps to a date for the dance?
(Well, yes, you can, since the puzzles are pretty
easy and the story includes hints and a
walkthrough.) Can you have some fun along the way?
(I hope you'll try the story to find out.)
