Here are a couple of fun books about the prom; one has a female protagonist and the other a male protagonist. As they say getting there is half the fun!
Anderson, Laurie Halse. Prom. 2005.
Ashley didn’t really care when the new math teacher disappears and takes the prom money with him. She wasn’t going to the prom, she has enough things to deal with at home including a very pregnant mother, three exuberant, younger brothers, three prom-crazy aunts, her job at EZ-CHEEZ-E, and last but not least her high-school dropout boyfriend. But Ashley’s best friend Nat has been looking forward to the prom since forever so Ashley gets sucked into salvaging the prom and she might even have to go to the prom herself, but would that be so bad?
Bradley, Alex. 24 girls in 7 days. 2005.
What would you do if the love of your life turns you down when you ask her to the prom? Jack does nothing. But his friends Natalie and Percy place an ad in the online school paper asking “Who will be Jack Grammar’s prom date?” Thus starts 24 dates in seven days. Jack dates every type of girl right up until the prom when he actually has to choose a date. His speed dating techniques will make you laugh, cringe and think “I've been through that”. To find out who Jack ultimately takes to the prom read 24 girls in 7 days.
