Austin Davenport, love doctor or destroyer?
The mayhem has multiplied! Love is in the air in Gopherville, but this ain't no mushy love story. It's an adventure of the heart with jokes of the fart.
They say that mayhem can't buy love, but it can break it apart. Or at least they should say that, because with Valentine's Day rapidly approaching at Cherry Avenue Middle School, relationship trouble is brewing like a volcano about to erupt. When Austin and Sophie set their sights on winning Cupid's Cutest Couple Contest, a series of challenges and a secret admirer will put their relationship to the test. And they're not the only ones with their eyes on the love prize. Of course, Randy, Austin's chief nemesis, is down for the crown, but he's not the only one attempting to destroy everyone's favorite nerd and all that he holds dear.
And that's not all. While Austin struggles to keep his relationship with Sophie afloat, he's forced to juggle a new job forced upon him by his friends and even a few teachers: love doctor. Yeah, he won't mess that up.
Will Sophie's competitiveness break Saustin apart?
Will Mr. Gifford finally find that special someone or will he create a love potion to ensnare Mrs. Funderbunk?
Will Austin need a hazmat suit just to survive the clouds of body spray, perfume, and pheromones floating through the halls?
Will this story end happily ever after? The only certainty in this one is mayhem and laughter.
