What happens when two popular children's authors decide to write a novel together? They spend alot of time writing letters to each other: friendly letters, funny letters, letters with excuses and nasty letters. In between times Robin Klein and Max Dann manage to produce a very funny story about Donovan and Scuff, best friends who board at an all-boys school. The two boys find themselves facing some awkward but hilarious encounters when they decide to start a Lonely Hearts Club in order to meet girls.
