past the British expressions, the odd after school snacks and the funny
expressions that come out of tough guys' mouths, and you'll find an interesting
struggle that Nick has in working out how much his older brother, Terry,
a local thug complete with motorcycle gang, will influence his behavior.
There are some surprises as Joseph Fisher, a classmate with strong family
loyalty and strict moral upbringing has his own confrontation with doing
wrong and surviving or living up to the consequences of sticking by your
convictions. These conflicts take place around the workings of a game where
Nick's character scores low in power , strength and intelligence but high
in such categories as virtue, faith and endurance. See how Nick gets comfortable
with these new ideas. Read A MAP OF NOWHERE. |
