Why is Elvin such a lightning rod for people trying to improve him?For as long as Elvin can remember, it's been just him and his mom, the only blood relative he knows. But out of the blue, his supposedly dead uncle, Alex, shows up. Elvin learns that years ago, Alex stole the money his dad had left to him and his mom-but now Alex wants to make amends with Elvin. He wants to improve all sorts of things, offering to fix Elvin's hair and get him a gym membership. The problem is, Elvin doesn't think his life needs fixing. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Chris Lynch including rare images from the author's personal collection.
