My brother had to read it and hated it. Most of my friend had to read and hated it, so I guess it's not that good of a book, but I'll try to read it.

"Sixteen-year-old Chris Boyd has always felt like a social outcast. He's scruffy and depressed, misses his dead father, and despises his mother. Now he and his mother, a live-in nurse, find themselves in a dilapidated old house where Mrs. Boyd cares for a dying lady, Mrs. Dipardi. As if that's not enough, Chris must deal with Mrs. Dipardi's 30-year-old misfit son, Lloyd, who wants to teach kids a thing or two about life. Can Chris shake Lloyd's influence and come up with the answers he needs for himself?"

Sadly, this book failed my 50 pages test.

A thanks goes out to AM10000 for passing this onto me when it got mis-mailed =)

I love Paul Zindel. I'm collecting all of his books for that nostalgic teen theme that's running through my life right now.
