Book description
Cole Fennety doesn't know it, but he is about to have the strangest
summer of his life. His little sister, Jessie, is driving him crazy,
his mother is too wrapped up in the world of daytime soaps to
intervene, and his best friend, Wayne, is out of control. Worst of
all, his boss, Sam Kerrigan, is the meanest man in town. But beneath
Sam's crusty exterior lies a kind heart -- as well as a terrible
secret that forces Cole to face questions to which there are no easy answers.
