Alton wasn’t planning on spending his summer catering to the whims of his eccentric, crotchety Great-Uncle Lester. And he especially wasn’t planning on being his uncle’s cardturner at a gazillion, mind-numbing bridge tournaments. But Alton’s girlfriend has dumped him, his best friend has become his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend, and Alton’s parents are desperate to get into Great-Uncle Lester’s will. Which means that Alton is stuck with bridge duty—so he’d better make the best of it. Alton does grow during this story—at least as a bridge player. He finds out it’s good to help people; he even makes time for a little romance. But overall, Alton’s story is a disappointment. That’s because the main character in this story isn’t really Alton—it’s the game of bridge. So unless you’re crazy about card games, consider yourself warned.
Genre: Fiction (YA)
