I used to have a mother, and a friend, and anotherfriend. Now I got relationships. Elvin Bishop is fourteen—an official Young Adult. Having barely survived the sports camp that he and his best friends, Frankie and Mikie, attended in SLOT MACHINE, Elvin is actually ready for high school to begin. Or so he thinks. Suddenly, he's hurled into a whole now social scene, where relationships-the right relationships—are the name of the game. Leave it to Elvin to fall for exactly the wrong kind of girl—the kind of girl who is definitely not a part of any guy's cool plan. And that's just the beginning of his problems. With an appetite that forces him to shop at the Big and Tall, a mother who still talks to her long-dead husband, and a nasty case of hemorrhoids, is becoming cool something that Elvin can even pull off? 00-01 Tayshas High School Reading List
