When Mom announces her engagement to Jerry Zuckerman, thirteen-year-old Guy (Guy Time) joins Jerry's daughter, Lana, in trying to prevent the marriage. Guy's wry observations of goofy adult behavior and his sarcastic exchanges with Lana keep the laughs coming, while the breezy first-person narrative deftly charts his adjustment to the sobering issues of divorce, remarriage, and blended families.
