Ages 14-17. Father and son, Ivan a high school kid. Dad a proffesional violist not violinist.Mr.Zellner found a new job; Guess what comes after that?.Ivan sits at home eating pizza and watching baseball on the T.V.It's summer almost at the time were school is about to start. but unfortunately Ivan is not going to start his sophmore year with all his friends. They move to Carmony,Nevada thats right around the corner of Las Vegas,Nevada. Moving really changed Ivan he gets a job and is at the point that he is about to get a girl friend.The girl by the name of Caitlyn is a cowgirl, well thats what her costume at her job is.Gilda Ivans cousin is extremely stuckup she likes to make fun of peole and she isn't afraid to tell it to your face.As you know the state of Nevada has a lot of gambling. So then Ivan's dad gives it a try and he got lucky and he won one hundred dollars.The high school that Ivan is about to atart used to be a Casino that had a fire accident. The high school instead of having Math, Science and etc: it has College of Comedy, College of Gambling basically its a college form school having to do with the odds of gambling. at the end they stay put and Ivan makes two best-friends, he ends up going out with Caitlyn. He keeps his job as an Icecream Scoper.I really enjoyed the book except the whole naked women and gambling. Maria Santana

FUnNNy!

this book is very hilarious, many teenagers would enjoy reading it, the common sense of the book is that Ivan Zellner is forced to move to Nevada because of his dad's job.. it continues with his friends and how they get together. Its a great book i would rate it as a 5 star but it doesnt make sense in some places.
