conversations.value: The Cardturner: The protagonist is a teenager named Alton Richards.\nHe is seventeen years old, nearing the end of the academic year.\nHe is best friends with Cliff, who recently started dating Alton\'s ex-girlfriend, Katie.\nThroughout his life, his mother tries to worm his way into her Uncle Lester\'s good books, as he is very rich.\nUncle Lester, or Trapp, as he is known informally, becomes ill, resulting in the loss of his sight.\nAs a result, he requires a cardturner - someone to read aloud his cards to him - when he plays duplicate bridge.\nWhen Alton returns from his penultimate day at school, his mother agrees to allow him to be the cardturner for Trapp over the summer.\nHis previous cardturner had been Toni Castenada - a schizophrenic, homeschooled girl, who was disallowed to be Trapp\'s cardturner when she questioned him on his card choice one game.\nAlton takes Uncle Lester to his bridge club, where he plays with a woman of a similar age named Gloria as his partner.\nTrapp initially berates Alton for his lack of knowledge on bridge and for not sorting his cards into suits when reading, causing them to be penalised.\nDespite this, Trapp and Gloria win with a sixty five percent game.\nOn the returning journey home, Trapp explains to Alton that memory of the cards is not what helps him to succeed, more how he remembers them.\nAlton becomes entangled in the world of bridge, first learning how to play the game and then picking up on common moves.\nHis younger sister, Leslie, also takes interest in the game.\nAlton\'s friend Cliff remains unimpressed.\nHe notes how unusual the game is - when Trapp plays with Wallace, his other partner with whom he plays once a week, they break a very rare seventy percent game, though argue profusely afterwards.\nIn this time, Alton notes that his uncle is very good at the game, and is almost a Grand Life Master, but he has not yet won a regional tournament, something Gloria advises Alton not to mention.\nAlton attempts to befriend Trapp, learning that he once had a bridge partner named Annabel King who was the sister of his wife.\nAlton\'s parents, however, push him to talking about Trapp\'s will, as they are in need of money after Alton\'s father lost his job.\nOne day, Trapp plays against Toni Castenada, whom he initially dislikes, as Trapp treats her as his protégée.\nShe makes numerous mistakes when they play, causing him to finish in a rare sixth place.\nLater on, when Alton tries to return from Trapp\'s bridge game, the car engine fails and he is forced to stop.\nAs a result, Trapp chooses to buy him a new car, being good friends with the dealership owner.\nTrapp plays again with Toni, doing even worse than before, with even Alton picking up on how poorly she plays.\nLater on, however, she calls him to ask to play a game of bridge, realising he understands the game and is just choosing not to tell his uncle.\nToni plays a game of bridge with Alton, Leslie and Cliff, who despite not taking the game seriously, instantly attempts to befriend Toni.\nHe takes her to a party Alton is unable to attend to as he has to take Trapp to a sectional tournament.\nAlton develops a romantic interest towards Toni, and begins to grow suspicious of her relationship with Cliff.\nTrapp and Gloria later win the sectional tournament, and Toni calls Alton the next day to ask how it went.\nToni organises to play with Alton at the club later on, winning a grand slam on their first board.\nDespite this, they perform poorly against most of their contestants, until they get to one table.\nThey okay against two men, both of whom constantly mock and criticise both Toni and Alton.\nHowever, Toni redoubles on their last hand, causing her and Alton to win that hand.\nToni later explains that because of her schizophrenia, her grandmother, Annabel King, had told her to redouble.\nDespite this, they both finish last.\nAlton takes Trapp to the regional tournament, where he learns what happened to Annabel - many years ago, Annabel King had been the wife of wealthy senator Henry King.\nHer talent in bridge made his lack, thereof, more noticeable.\nHowever, Henry begins forbidding Annabel to play bridge, going as far as to domestically abuse her.\nAnnabel later becomes partners with Trapp, both usually being successful.\nTrapp remarks how despite the risky play in the card, Annabel never refused to redouble.\nHowever, when Trapp and Annabel enter a national tournament, Annabel is taken away under the advice of Henry.\nShe is later locked up in an asylum, where she dies from drinking bleach.\nTrapp and Annabel\'s sister, Nina, attempt to see her and file several lawsuits, though this falters.\nTrapp begins performing well at the regionals, but is almost fifteen minutes late one day, and berates Alton for reading the cards too quickly.\nLater on, he makes a mistake by asking to play the Queen of Clubs, a card he does not have.\nDespite this not having any negative consequences, Trapp refuses to play for the rest of the day, telling Alton - who he finds out has been learning the game - he can take his place.\nDespite praise from Gloria, Trapp demands to be taken home immediately, cancelling all his bridge games until the national tournament.\nHe later passes away, leaving Alton\'s family with money for college and paying off debts.\nAt the service, Alton asks Toni for another game of bridge at the club, where they play substantially better than the first time.\nHowever, as they are playing, Alton begins to hear Trapp tell him which cards to play, and Toni is frustrated afterwards as she only played the cards Annabel told her to.\nAlton is told driving directions by Trapp, and when Toni questions him where he\'s going, he admits to bearing Trapp\'s voice.\nThey are directed to his house, where they find the documents for the upcoming tournament.\nBoth agree to play in the national tournament on behalf of Trapp and Annabel.\nDespite Toni\'s relationship with Cliff, she begins to show romantic interest in Alton.\nThey play at the national tournament with Annabel and Trapp having control over their moves.\nThey perform well, with both Toni and Alton enjoying the experience with each other.\nThey eventually win the tournament, where Toni kisses Alton out of excitement.\nAlton concludes the book by saying that he continues to play bridge, and his relationship with Toni is "unauthorised information".
