When thirteen-year-old Eddie's mother discovers he's been looking at porn websites, she sends him to live with his great-uncle Peavey for a month. Resentful at first, Eddie comes to appreciate the family history Peavey reveals. Eddie's mom's overreaction isn't entirely believable and readers will see the lessons learned from a mile away, but teens may relate to Eddie's "it's not fair" attitude.
