Exciting and fast paced adventures of a young boys journey from rich to poor, fighting bullies, blossoming love, and life and death decisions.
Follow Channing as he learns some of life's lessons the hard way. Enjoy his friendship with a man that is older than dirt, and filled with the wisdom of the ages. He is both the nicest man Channing ever met, and the wisest. He teaches Channing lessons that they do not teach in school. Lessons that will last a lifetime. A man that uses words to get his way, if that does not work, he has the brawn to back up the words.
This was his third school in six years, and Channing wants nothing more than to go back to what his family had in the past. As his life spirals into depression and anger, he uses his inner voice and his new friend to give him strength to persevere.
An alcoholic father and a workaholic mother forces him to fend for himself. He meets bullies that beat him up twice, then with the advice of a friend he turns the tables on the bullies.
Feel his heart break when the first girl he asks out, excepts him and then, rejects him. Then a girl who he thinks of as only a friend, becomes more than a friend and love blossoms.
When a girl in his class suddenly disappears in his neighborhood. Channing finds out that she is being held by a very scary man in the basement of a house in his neighborhood. When the police will not listen to him, he makes the decision to rescue her on his own. He knows the price for failure could be his own life.
