This book made me want to learn to play Bridge! The story is of a 17 year-old boy named Alton who gets roped into assisting his blind great-uncle in playing his weekly Bridge game. Much of the story revolves around the relationship between these two main characters, but there is also a lot related to the situations faced by teens growing up. 
 Toward the end of the book, the story takes an unexpected twist and begins to introduce some content that makes me question my "realistic" fiction classification. I'll let you be the judge about that.... 
 A fun, quick read!
