The Boy Who Invented Himself - Paperback

Some years ago, in the old mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, lived a boy named Guy DeMonde who was at once a dreamer and sometimes a loner. When he wasn't off by himself dreaming in his tree house, Guy spent time with a tight knit group of neighborhood pals with whom he embarked on the usual round of small adventures that built camaraderie and fond memories. Then, one day, he and his friends encountered the greatest challenge of their young lives: a new kid in the neighborhood whose lifestyle contradicted many of the beliefs they had always taken for granted. Now, Guy in particular, must find a way to avoid the path of least resistance, learn to tell good from bad, and finally re-invent himself with his own personality, one that didn't rely on others to fashion and that would preserve and strengthen his values to withstand the test of time. Will he succeed? It's a question that demands Guy's story to be read, cherished, and thought about long after the final page has been turned.
