Winning His “W‪”‬

Peter John is so afraid of the sophomores that he begs his friends to meet him at the station—and Will suspects they may be waiting with “knives and guns.” But the first danger at Winthrop College may be a freshman’s own imagination.

On a September afternoon, as Winthrop’s new students prepare to begin college life, Will Phelps and steady Foster Bennett hurry across the grounds to rescue their anxious friend. Peter John Schenck is tall, awkward, and used to being laughed at, but his resolve has carried him through the entrance exams and brought him to college all the same. Now he must face the upperclassmen he fears, a strange new world, and the challenge of finding his place among his classmates. Can Peter John turn his first days at Winthrop into a victory of his own?
