5.0 out of 5 starsHow embarassing would it be if you were 13 & you found out your dad's job was to perform as an Elvis impersonator?

My son read this book for a report, but I read it before him. We both loved it. I'm 55 & can still remember the pressures of being 13. Josh's parents are divorced & living in different states. He needs to live with his dad in Chicago for a while as his mom tends to his sick grandma. Josh soon finds out his dad now works as an Elvis impersonator, white spangly jumpsuit, singing - and all. Cringeworthy, but Josh and his father work it out.
Bought this book for my daughter. She specifically asked for it, was reading it and had to return it to the library. Fast delivery and very happy with purchase.
