Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

High school sophomore, Travis, plans to spend the summer as follows-

-Practicing basketball with his best friend, Creature.
-Reading excerpts of Creature's novel-in-progress- The Pervert's Guide to Russian Princesses.
-Paddling around the lake, trying to catch a glimpse of the beautiful girl who just moved in.
-Trying, also, to catch a glimpse of the monster that has been gobbling up the neighbors' pets.
-Not shoplifting, not getting into trouble.
-Searching the homeless encampments for his mother, with a jar full of cash to help her get back on her feet.
The summer takes a dark turn when Creature is attacked by a gangbanger in a pick-up game. He survives, but the attack sets into motion a chain of events that threatens both boys' futures....
From a powerful new voice in YA literature comes an unforgettable account of growing up, making mistakes, and growing out of the shadow of drug abuse.

Rising sophomore Travis and his best friend, Creature, spend a summer in a Eugene, Oregon, trailer park dealing with cancer, basketball, first love, addiction, gang violence, and a reptilian infestation.
