Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon
5.0
5 Stars and well-deserved, in my very humble opinion.
Well written story of a boy's life. 1964, when the world was on the verge of so much change; we enter Cory Mackenson's world. A tween on the verge of manhood; but still able to hold onto is childhood just a little longer. Cory and his friends embark upon adventures, real and and not so real; or are they? He also encounters the evil that men do and learns, as children always do; the hard way; but he learns.
I really did not think this book would interest me. I mean, what do I have in common with preteen boys?? A lot; after reading this book. The characters are relatable and you can feel your own story being told. I remember the bullies, horrible teachers, creepy kids and even creepier adults; but I also remember the magic of childhood. I remember when my imagination went far and wide. I remember when I was the heroine of the story. I remember stepping into other lives, other stories and creating new worlds. I remember it.
Boy's Life tells your story and sings your song. I hope you listen.
