Lawn Boy is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Jonathan Evision. Set in Wahington state, a young man named Mike Monuz, just a couple years out of high school, lives with his mother and his older brother with behavioral problems. He works for a landscaping crew run by a cheating boss. His specialty is carving plants and hedges into topiaries. He has artistic talent. His truck breaks down. His lawnmower gets stolen. Nothing is going right for him and he knows he has to shake things up. Seems like he can't get one foot on the ladder to success. Slowly things start to change for him. With another landscaper he starts their own landscaping business and they run it honestly. This book is a cute coming of age story about a kid who keeps on trying.
