Bronwyn Clancy would do anything to win the title of junior captain of the Academic Team at Castlewood High School so she can get close to her long time crush, Adam Greenville, the senior captain of the A-Team. From volunteering to chair the thankless Castlewood High Redirection Project to taking two science classes her junior year taught by Mrs. Monnark, the A-Team advisor, Bronwyn is sure that being named junior captain of the A-Team would help her win both a college scholarship and Adam's heart.

But when Bronwyn gets dragged into the middle of a cheating scandal in Mrs. Monnark's geology class, she finds herself stuck with the task of tutoring twenty athletes, including CJ Dennison, the school's wrestling team champion who brags that his favorite book is the score book... because it's all about him. With her chance for junior captain of the A-Team on the line, Bronwyn must prove to Mrs. Monnark - and to herself - that she's the smartest girl in the junior class.

But as Bronwyn gets to know CJ better, will she be smart enough to listen to her heart?
