The Story
Welcome to planet 7th Grade! Where a love letter to the girl of your dreams can ruin
your life, Salami is the perfect diversion for a crazy janitor, and memorizing Shakespeare
makes you a loser, but just might win you the girl.
Based loosely on As You Like It, Love Letter is the tale of Henry, a boy who loses a
love letter written to the girl of his dreams and must survive the perils of 7th grade to win
back her heart.
Thirteen-year-old Henry has finally found the courage to tell Marisa, the girl of his
dreams, how he feels about her in a love letter. But when he accidentally leaves the letter
in the boy’s bathroom, he and his best friend Thomas must use all of their geeky know-how to get the letter back.
They break into the school at night, crawling through air ducts to get to the letter. With
the letter almost in reach, the meanest bullies in school beat them to it. Henry’s hope for
true love is ruined and total humiliation is guaranteed.
Henry goes to school the next day only to find that the bullies have copied the letter and
plastered it all over school. Just when it seems like his chances with Marisa are over,
Henry uses Shakespeare to find the words to tell her how he feels. Acting out a scene
from As You Like It with Marisa, Henry confesses his love for her in front of the whole
class and wins her heart.
