description: Life hasn't been the same for Jake Moon since his grandfather Skelly was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. For one thing he can't invite friends over because Skelly might do something embarrassing like tell them to zipper their "briskets", or Jake might reach into the freezer for a can of frozen orange juice and find frozen pajamas instead. It's like all of a sudden he's the grown-up, and Skelly's the kid. How could one person you could always count on be fading away right before your eyes?Barbara Park, one of today's popular and versatile authors, has created a funny, honest, and unforgettable portrait of a boy struggling to understand this debilitating disease and graduate to a more sympathetic and accepting relationship with his beloved grandfather.
