It's tough enough being thirteen and having divorced parents. But when you find out you're going to go live with your dad (okay) in Chicago (still okay) for a few months (less okay) and he's now impersonating Elvis (way NOT okay), life gets a little crazy. That's just what happens to Josh in this hilarious Rebecca Caudill nominee All Shook Up by Shelley Pearsall. Josh thinks he can make it through a few months of seventh grade in a new location, as long as nobody finds out about his dad, but then learns - oh, no!! - his dad has been invited to perform at his school. Josh comes up with a plan to prevent the performance, but the situation progresses from bad to worse. With help from Ivory, a free-spirited classmate; Viv, Ivory's mom (and girlfriend of Josh's dad); and Gladys, an elderly neighbor who thinks Josh's dad really IS Elvis, Josh learns how to accept the hunk-a, hunk-a burning embarrassment who's trying his best to be a good father.
