King of the Screwups

Liam Geller, who knows all about fashion from his model-mom's fashion shows and boutique, is Mr. Popularity, a chic magnet, who is well-liked by everyone he meets. So why can't he gain his father's approval? When Liam screws up yet again, his father kicks him out. But his father's brother--who lives in a trailer in upstate New York--takes him in. What could a teenage girl-magnet possibly have in common with his gay, glam rocker, D.J. uncle? A lot more than you'd think. And when Liam nearly joins the army in a desperate attempt to impress his father, It's his uncle who saves him.
