Life has not been easy lately for sixteen-year-old Walker. His father has died, his girlfriend has moved away, and the family finances are in a shambles. Finally it seems as if things are looking up: Walker has a date with Rachel, the beautiful new girl in his class, and his mother has announced she’s gotten a job. Only not your average, run-of-the-mill mom’s job. Walker’s mother is going to work as a stripper. What if his friends find out? What if Rachel finds out? Coincidentally, Walker’s dad has left him a piece of land on which Rachel’s father is scheming to build a mall, and after seeing the land, Walker goes about the hard work of farming it — and the hard work of being in love for the first time. Propelled by Ron Koertge’s rapid-fire repartee, this is the funny and touching tale of a winningly honest protagonist discovering the perils and rewards of family, friendship, and romance.
