"The suburbs, 1983. Two twelve-year-old boys wade through the heat of summer, drifting past the insect-singing tress, the 7-Eleven, the strip mall, and the woods, looking for something to do. Often it's drinking beer, smoking dope, trying not to get beaten up, or calling on girls who are struggling through their own changes. Along the way, the people the boys encounter, and the personalities they are learning to navigate, reveal how many of America's young men begin to think about work, sex, weakness, violence, and themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
