Bookroo's summary

Gilbert faces a dilemma: how to write kind valentines for classmates who teased him. Opting for mischief, he crafts two mean cards, but a mix-up causes hurt feelings and chaos. As Valentine's Day unfolds, Gilbert must navigate the fallout and learn the power of apology and kindness. Can he mend the rift and find forgiveness before the day ends?

From the publisher

There they were, fifteen blank valentine cards waiting to be filled with nice valentine poems for classmates. But how can Gilbert write a nice poem for the boy who tweaked his nose, or the girl who made fun of his glasses?
