Wes Bennett is definitely not boyfriend material for Liz Buxbaum--not after a childhood growing up to that menace, who once even put a severed garden gnome's head in side her homemade neighborhood book exchange mini scene. However, ten years after the "Great Gnome Decapitation," Liz finds herself needing Wes to help her attract the attention of her forever-crush Michael, with whom Wes is friends. As the two neighbor kids scheme to get Michael's attention, though, Liz discovers she actually likes hanging out with Wes, and they are only growing closer.
