This is the story of a boy coming of age in the early 1960s and what happens after he and his father witness the after-effects of a gruesome murder in their quiet hometown. It’s also a story about friends and bullies, love and loss, acceptance and racism, bravery and fear. It was at times funny, touching, disgusting, and disturbing. I think it accomplished what it set out to do and did it very well.
