Last Mango In Texas is a Great Light Read.
The protagonist is a young man from an eccentric family, and the story revolves around his life during his college years. It's a love story, an adventure story, and a mystery all rolled into one.
I didn't realize that this author is described as a Christian writer, I just thought it was a nice, clean read for a change. The writing is easy enough for a teen to read and understand, yet the story has enough twists and turns to entertain me and I haven't been a teen for over 30 years.
This book only came out in March of 2009, and would make a nice gift.
"Eccentric family, lots of surprises, this story moved quickly and kept me entertained."

This made me laugh:
Regina served tofu for dinner - on bird plates. [...] The owl [on my plate] was cool; the tofu tasted like a mix of potting soil and mulch.
