Alton Richards (not Richard Alton like some of his teachers call him) has always known that Lester Trapp is his favorite uncle. He loves him. At least, that's what his mother tells him to say every time Trapp and Alton talk on the phone. But when Trapp's health problems lead to his blindness and Alton becomes Trapp's "cardturner" at his bridge club...Alton has to decide his feelings for himself - along with his feelings for Toni Castaneda, Trapp's niece by marriage and former cardturner. But he soon learns that Toni might not be as crazy as his mom says, that bridge may not be as boring as he thought, and that not all coincidences are mere coincidences.
I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to others. The Cardturner is by Louis Sachar - author of Holes. I think both genders would enjoy this book.
