Stephen Inglis thought running away would help but that was not the solution. The bullies at his school teased him for sleeping with a teddy bear. He was nine and his father had said he would be fine. That was not what Stephen felt, he felt a true outsider, a stranger without a friend.
An opportunity to get revenge on one of his tormentors finally presents itself. Stephen has to decide; should he try and save his enemy or should he let him perish?
With his tormentor's demise, he could at least expect a silent, grudging respect from the others and hope to be left alone.
One hundred and fifty boys, one hundred and forty-nine happy, one miserable, did his happiness justify the taking of another life. Would he be a slave or would he be free?
