Summary:
"It is the summer of 1948. Thirteen-year-old Morris Bird III lives in Cleveland with his parents and little sister. His mother aggravates him, his sister is a pain, and his father's radio personality ego is out of control -- as is Morris' own body when in the presence of girls. But over in Columbus, his grandmother is dying. She is the greatest influence on his life, and cancer is stealing her away from him. As his parents and aunts and uncles bicker over his grandmother's belongings, young Morris distracts himself with the Cleveland Indians' race for the pennant, Philip Marlowe stories, and the common daydreams of a teenage boy. But in the end, Morris must find courage and strength within to face the harsh realities around him -- and the choices he must make -- because he's the only one who can.
