(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Stan is driven to make the basketball team, but a couple of distractions enter his life. First, Stan develops a crush on Janine Igwash. And second, Stan's home life--already complicated by his high-strung mother--gets more so when his deadbeat dad shows up. Cumyn's third-person narrative presents his teenage characters in an especially endearing light, capturing the absurdities and impossibilities of adolescence.
