Eddie McCall is a good kid. He does his homework, picks up around the house, and cooks dinner for his single mom when she has to work late at a Chicago hotel. Then Eddie's best friend, Whip, shows him a printout from the Internet- a picture of an honest-to-gosh naked woman-and suddenly Eddie can't seem to think about anything else. He knows his mom will be upset if she sees the sites he's visiting. Still, he doesn't expect her to ship him off to her hometown of Sheldon, Indiana, to live with his great-uncle Peavey for an entire month. Peavey isn't exactly the father figure thirteen-year-old Eddie's been looking for. He spits tobacco juice into a can, calls a toilet a "commode," and certainly doesn't own a computer. As it turns out, however, both Peavey McCall and Sheldon, Indiana, hold some very surprising secrets . . . The author captures two worlds in this tender and funny look at a boy learning what it really means to be a man.
