Jake Moon was a regular kid. He loved his mom and was making some friends in middle school. Things were looking up, right up until his beloved Grandfather Skelly was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. This is a real life issue that not many people deal with on average. Jake tries to be the perfect grandson and help around the house and with the Skelly, the thing that Jake is having a hard time understanding is that sometimes the person inside Skelly's body isn't Skelly. Jake learns to pull together with a violent cousin and find that maybe he has more in common with his family than just a last name.
Personal review
This is an issue that I personally haven't ever had to deal with. I still can't comprehend the kind of loss that this family had to face everyday. Its like loosing a loved one that is still haunting your house. Barbra Park did an amazing job at pulling you into the story and putting your self in Jake's shoes.
