Why Can't Sophomore Summer Be Like Pizza?

It's the summer after sophomore year and RV plans to enjoy new adventures and new challenges after finishing two years of high school.

He gets a job as an usher at a movie multiplex but discovers the realities of dealing with job stresses and unruly customers. It's also time for him to start learning how to drive, and his father is eager to give him lessons. But he's not the most patient of teachers and RV is not the most capable of drivers.

RV opens himself up to a new relationship and it looks like the start of a budding romance-until it isn't.

And then there is RV's family... Luckily, as always, Mr. Aniso, RV's freshmen-year teacher, is always there to talk over anything that might be bothering RV. But he's away for the summer, so there's only so much time and attention he can give RV. It looks like RV's summer won't be fun and games after all.
