A super-readable and accessible raw, contemporary story of friendship. Mog's friendship with his best friend, the charismatic Chris, is everything. It protects him from the relentless group of bullies at school and even gives him a certain amount of clout among their friends who are all outsiders in their own way. Then Chris befriends loner Duffy to protect him from the bullies. Suddenly Mog feels threatened and makes a move-a simple act that reverberates among the friends and changes everything.
