"Sixteen-year-old Carl uses his talent with electronics both to shield himself from his mother's alcoholism and promiscuity and to try to make enough money repairing stolen stereos to get into engineering school later. Carter avoids the temptation to offer easy solutions to the problems of children with alcoholic parents or to caricature his adult characters. A solid, inpreachy novel".--School Library Journal.
