I've never told this story to anyone because when I was twelve I swore an oath in blood that I would never tell it. But the friends I swore it with are dead now, so it's time to break that oath and tell the truth... (1)
Our narrator, Andy, begins his tale with the last day of school. A day that they'd never forget. For while that was not the day they found the bomb, it was the day the boys' anger was born. The anger that would yield life and death consequences. When Andy's best friend, Eddie, is wrongfully accused of a prank and punished by being caned seven times--a new school record, I believe--a deep, bitter anger takes root in the boy's soul. But Eddie is not the only one with issues to deal with. Andy learns through the course of the summer that his father is cheating on his mother. He actually catches him in the act. Soon it seems, Andy's life is full of secrets that one way or another he's bound to keep.

But are any of the boys prepared to keep the ultimate secret???
