Monday morning and the young pair prepare to face the music heading
back to school. The point of view switches between our two
principals. The author prolongs the agony with lengthy passages of
introspection making extensive use of sports metaphors in Brad's
case. We know the lad's a jock but the author's knowledge of baseball
play and the intimate details such as the use of a "cup"
may not be shared by all his readers especially bookish nerds such as
Kyle.
Book three describes going back to school on Monday and everything
one could dread about that day seems to hit these two. As the day
ends their two mothers spring into action and little is more fearsome
than a lioness defending her wounded cub.
