Funerals and Fly Fishing

Brad Stanislawski is looking forward to summer vacation, if only to get away from the classmates who tease him because of his size (it's not his fault that he grew four inches in one year) and his last name (Stan-is-lousy being their moniker of choice). So when Brad's mom announces that she's taking a summer vacation by herself and sending Brad across the country to stay with his estranged grandfather--who happens to be an undertaker--Brad thinks life couldn't possibly get any worse. Still, as Brad ought to know, first impressions can be deceiving, and a name can hold a lot more than embarrassment.

What exactly does it mean to be Brad Stanislawski?
