In this novel described as Tuesdays with Morrie for teens, a troubled 16-year-old boy discovers the friendship of a lifetime after he is sentenced to do community work at an old folks\' home.
And suddenly, I\'m some kind of convicted felon.
My parents are getting divorced, my dad is shacking up with my third-grade teacher, I might be in love with a girl who could kill me with one finger, and now I\'m sentenced to babysit some insane old guy.
What else could possibly go wrong?This is the story of Alex Gregory, his guitar, his best gal pal Laurie, and the friendship of a lifetime that he never would have expected..
I get a lot of that.
One car crash.
One measly little car crash.
Alex Peter Gregory, you are a moron! Laurie slammed her palms down on my desk and stomped her foot. . .
Just when you thought you had it all figured out .
A funny, bittersweet tour de force.--Booklist, starred review.
