| This
starts off as a book about friends , one strong, the other a follower.
We watch Bryan's uneasiness at always doing what Flip wants. Flip has a
thing for publicity and excitement and when the boys discover a dead body,
Flip milks it for what it's worth. In their romps they discover they are
followed by Alvin, a nothing in their class. He leaves them messages, gives
them gifts from his Nazi collection and, scared by them, he runs over a
trestle and falls to his death. Bryan has grown from the experience and
understands he is not like Flip, and doesn't want to be. |
