Book Summary:
Dexter Foreman is twelve going on eighty. He's lived at The Pines retirement village with his grandmother since he was six years old, and as a result he gets along better with senior citizens than kids his own age. He's homeschooled by the residents up until the county's truancy officer shows up and announces he has to go to a "real" school... the local middle school. Dex sticks out like a sore thumb at school- he dresses like a grandpa and can be just as cranky. His taste in music and movies are decades out of date. Only a few students. like Gianna Greco, a reporter at the school's newspaper, find him interesting. For most kids, he's either a weirdo or a target for teasing.
Dex would do anything to return to his old life at The Pines- but when his wish seem to finally be coming true, his old and new worlds collide in a way that surprises everyone...Dexter most of all.
