Amidst conflict at home, Doug Swieteck makes his way in a new town. Set in the time of the Vietnam War this story discusses family, friendship, and growing up in a creative way. Between his Saturday delivery job and his art lessons at the local library Doug learns to deal maturely with his problems in life as well as develop friendships.
I enjoyed this book very much. The characters were well developed and I appreciated the story line and the underlying messages. My favorite part of the book was the symbolism in each chapter that could be applied to the morals. I felt that I as a reader grew right along with Doug throughout the story.
