Despite his heroic efforts to be cool, Al Capsella faces a crippling pair of obstacles: his mother and father. They're not just uncool, but a complete embarrassment. Along with schoolmates like Louis, also fourteen, Al has his own plans for surviving the abnormal antics of parents, grandparents and teachers. But Al discovers that being really normal is the weirdest thing of all.©1988 Judith Clarke. (P)2000 Bolinda Publishing Literature & Fiction
