Caring for an elderly person with Alzheimer's is no easy task; nor is writing about it from the perspective of a twelve-year-old boy. Well done, Bonnie Turner for giving us this remarkable story about Buzz Collins who resents having to share not only his bedroom but his life with the grandfather who no longer remembers him, nor his parents or sister. Tough lessons to be learned here, the toughest about coming to terms with a disease for which there is no cure, only acceptance. A good read for middle school through adulthood.
