Meet chris Boyd, a teenage misfit. Chris is the son of Ms. Helen Boyd, a tough, hard core, travelling nurse. They own nothing more than what they can fit in two suitcases and a couple of plastic bags. Due to his mothers new case, Chris is stuck living in a rundown house, with drunken shipyard worker Lloyd Dipardi. Is Lloyd as bad as he seems, or is he worse?

Confessions of a teenage baboon, captures the issues and decisions teenagers face. It tells uss what could and can happen if we let it. This book is a shocking reminder that those who hate can also love. Thank you Paul Zindel.
