Al ritmo di due lettere alla settimana, dovrebbe arrivare alla fine del trimestre. E per allora si sarà trovato anche una ragazza! Trovarsi una ragazza e baciarla è infatti la preoccupazione numero uno di Sal. In fin dei conti, ha già raggiunto la veneranda età di dodici anni, perciò non può permettersi di aspettare ancora! Finalmente una "Ragazzina" che affronta con umorismo i primi sentimentali... dalla parte di lui.

Se poi le cose a casa si mettono male, posso sempre andare ad affogare nello speciale menù che servono alla mensa scolastica: stufato di letame al curry. A consolarmi c'è per fortuna la mia migliore amica, Melanie, però non sono tanto sicura che possa salvarmi dai messaggi di Roll o scoprire qual è il grande segreto della mamma...
