When your world keeps turning upside-down, the trick is staying on top. Altar Boy Andrew Fisher, thirteen years old, born in an orphanage, stays with his grandfather who drinks more than he should and who loses more jobs than he gets. Andrew is world-wise, finds humor in almost everything, a smooth way out of any situation. A priest sexually molests him. Can Andrew get back to the top? Yup. He's sharp enough, he's tough enough, he'll find a way all on his own, no help needed from nobody. The novel has been called wickedly funny...tragic...blasphemous...heart-breaking...darkly satirical, and ultimately uplifting...a coming-of-age story about human resilience and the healing power of love.
