Publisher's summary

Despite his heroic efforts to be cool, Al Capsella faces a crippling pair of obstacles: his mother and father. They're not just uncool, but a complete embarrassment. Along with schoolmates like Louis, also 14, Al has his own plans for surviving the abnormal antics of parents, grandparents, and teachers. But Al discovers that being really normal is the weirdest thing of all.
