Eddie has had a tough time since his dad died and his mom became addicted to drugs. When she's forced into rehab, Eddie moves in with relatives in Boston and begins attending his cousin Alex's experimental urban school. Studious, serious Eddie and irresponsible, fun-loving Alex have a positive influence on each other in this surprisingly (given the premise) amusing novel.
