About this title: Chris Boyd, 15, is still trying to cope with the death of his father, a situation complicated by his difficult relationship with his mother. When Chris's mother, a live-in nurse, gets a job caring for a woman named Mrs. Dipardi, she and Chris move into the Dipardi's dilapidated house. It is there that Chris meets Mrs. Dipardi's strange, 30-year-old son, Leonard, who is determined to teach Chris "a few things about life." But Chris wonders what he could ever learn from a misfit like Leonard.
