When Noah Whitmore's teenage cousin Lukas turned up on his doorstep one day, it was a life-defining moment for both of them.  

As a single, thirty-something teacher with a personal life akin to a vacuum, Noah found that he had someone in his life that needed direction.  Noah also discovered that he could be the father figure that could provide that direction for Lukas.

Best Kid Ever is the third book in the My Life with Lukas series and covers Lukas' arrival in California during the middle of his sophomore year.
