Hudson Wheeler is going places. At least that is what a former teacher wrote in a letter to his parents that is hanging on his refrigerator.
Now he is entering his senior year with no big plans other than to become a graphic novelist. He convinces his mom to let him be home-schooled and she agrees with the stipulation that he still take two classes at school for socialization. He has to pay rent, so he starts two businesses (dog-walking and an on-call service for senior citizens).
At first I was not a fan of Hudson. He comes across as lazy in that his businesses are designed to make money while doing the least amount of work possible and he wants to be home-schooled because senior year is a joke. However, as the book progressed, he is a great character and I found myself cheering for him. He is the type of person that flies under the radar in most high schools (nonathletic, does not take part in activities, not overly confident), but once you get to know this person there is a lot more to them that meets the eye.
