Alton's uncle is very old, very blind, and very rich.
When he asks Alton to be his "cardturner," Alton's parents
are thrilled because they want in on Uncle Lester's will. Alton is mortified,
but he can't seem to get out of it. He takes Uncle Lester to his bridge
club, helps him with his cards, and slowly starts to realize that figuring
out bridge is a lot like figuring out life. He falls in love, learns
some obvious stuff about his friends and some totally crazy stuff about
his family. He even learns some interesting things about himself.
You wouldn't think a book about a card game could be exciting. I mean, we're not talking championship poker. We're talking bridge. I’ve always assumed bridge would be boring. I had no idea that I would soon be holding my breath over every card, unable to put this book away. -- Megan K |
