| Description | In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "The Cardholder" by Louis Sachar. Summary--Alton wasn't planning on spending his summer catering to the whims of his eccentric, crotchety Great-Uncle Lester. And he especially wasn't planning on being his uncle's cardturner at a gazillion, mind-numbing bridge tournaments. But Alton's girlfriend has dumped him, his best friend has become his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend, and Alton's parents are desperate to get into Great-Uncle Lester's will. Which means that Alton is stuck with bridge duty—so he'd better make the best of it. Alton does grow during this story—at least as a bridge player. He finds out it's good to help people; he even makes time for a little romance. But overall, Alton's story is a disappointment. That's because the main character in this story isn't really Alton—it's the game of bridge. So unless you're crazy about card games, consider yourself warned. The critic is not particularly fond of this book. |
