Charles Brady s new novel is a story
of heartbreak and hope, a realistic
portrayal of the quest for new lives
among teenage delinquents-bud-
ding criminals-boys who it seemed
had lost everything and on whom
society had given up.
Steve Zebley-Chief Steve to the
boys of Maple Valley Camp-leads
ten emotionally disturbed campers,
some of whom would be in reform
school otherwise, to master the
wilderness and thereby to master
themselves. Paul, the bitter arsonist;
Randy, the poor little rich boy who
was an accomplice to murder:
George, whose obesity has causec
him to hate-all learn to work to
gether to survive, earning from th~
unique camping program rehabilita
tion that works and another chance
in life. By helping the boys learn
responsibility and win back their
self-esteem, Steve is able to forgive
himself for the great mistake of his
own life.
The novel reaches its riveting
c.limax as the group-like latter-day
Huckleberry Finns-takes a dramatic
thousand-mile raft trip .that ends in
New Orleans and leads to ti{e dis-
covery of the spark of goodness in
each of the boys.
