Four young preteen boys form a strong bond of friendship that carries them through adulthood. The bond is unusually strong because the boys are individually so different and yet understand and appreciate their differences as well as the sameness in their motivations, their goals, their achievements, and their loyalties. Readers will identify their own childhood as the four make friends and enemies, heroes and mentors along their path of adventure and misadventures. A page-turner of the first order, the reader will feel an active participant in this fast-moving roller-coaster ride of the coming-of-age of Conner, Mark, Herbert, Mike, and Snake-eyes.
