The tiniest details hide profound secrets, but we rush past them every day. In the novel The 79 Squares, by Michael J. Bosse, a rebellious teenager discovers this truth through an unexpected challenge that transforms his life.
Everything irritates and bores Eric, he feels his parents don’t understand him, and he hangs out with some troublemakers. One day he's caught trespassing in the garden of 82-year-old Mr. Beck, a former convict who served 40 years in prison.
