商品簡介
Captain, as this thirteen-year-old boy-likes to call himself, covers up any insecurities he might feel with his quick wit, sarcastic put-downs, and arrogance. He doesn't even try to hide his disdains for teachers who know less than he does—a fact that gets him in big trouble. He didn't mean to assault a teacher, but his quick temper leads to suspension from school and six weeks of community service in a homeless shelter. As he doles out oatmeal to a long line of homeless patrons each morning, his preconceived ideas of the homeless give way to understanding and sympathy. He is especially drawn to a girl about his age who comes to his breakfast line with her three-year-old sister. She is mysterious and aloof, which challenges Captain to know more about her. The secret she finally shares leads to more trouble when he agrees to help her and they hide a body in the walk-in freezer in the basement of Captain's home.
