In this promising first novel, smart, sensitive loner Kirk finds life begins to get a lot more interesting when he makes new friends and becomes involved with a sexy, experienced classmate. It also gets more complicated when his mother moves across the country and Kirk decides to stay put. Kirk's friendship with Callie, the attractive blind woman who hires him to read to her, helps him cope--but also introduces more complexities.
