Valentine's Day is approaching, and Miles Lewis doesn't really like all the mush that comes with it. He is excited about the candy experiments they're doing in science class, though.

That's when they realize that Miles's Nana and Jada's Pop Pop have a lot in common—could they be a perfect match?

From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans!
This series features Jada Jone's friend, Miles Lewis, a confident fourth grader who lives with his parents and grandmother. Like Jada, Miles enjoys science—and being the best at everything he tries! The books focus on everyday, age-relevant experiences relating to family, friendships, and school, while including a little Black history, courtesy of Miles's father, who is a Black history professor.
Single-color cartoon-style illustrations aid the narration while transitioning the reader to text-only chapter books. Ideal for growing independent readers.
