The Graduation of Jake Moon

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group

Fourteen-year-old Jake has always been close to his grandfather, Skelly. But now Skelly has Alzheimer’s disease and can’t watch over Jake. Jake has to help his grandfather fasten the Velcro on his sneakers and clean food off his face. It’s embarrassing when his friends come over, because he never knows how Skelly will act. By adding a dose of humor to a tragic situation, Park makes young readers aware of the difficulties in dealing with a debilitating disease.
