This book is fantastic and Chad Lowe does a fabulous job reading. You feel that he really understands the protagonist's situation. I read (listen to) this book every summer. The story deals with a teenager's struggle to adapt to life after his wealthy family loses all of their money. It is funny, poignant, and you feel the story come alive with Mr. Lowe's read. I recommend it to anyone!
