Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 8x6x1; No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. Advance Reading Copy from Uncorrected Proof; light edge wear; Plump and awkward, 14-year-old Elvin Bishop is not enjoying the roller coaster of mysterious changes that puberty is cursing him with. To complicate his already confused state, Elvin's long-lost Uncle Alex--whom he thought dead--has resurfaced. An exotic, spicy meal is just the first of many changes that Alex introduces during his campaign to "fix" Elvin and seek forgiveness from the family for a mess of old troubles that ended with him in prison. For the first time in years, Elvin misses his dead father, and as he spends time with Alex, a.k.a. Uncle Alcatraz, a scarily enjoyable new gym routine, some major introspection, and a burgeoning sense of self emerge.
