SIXTEEN Vs, Book Two, The Mid Teen Years

by Victor Cox

Overview

Hardly before Victor can get settled down at their new location, a house fire causes a serious blow to his family. Forced to split up for a while, he gains valuable character insight watching his polio- crippled Uncle work. He is dismayed with another sibling quitting school. He vows to stop the trend. School yard games and adventures around his house provide excitement and danger. His many life lessons and ‘first time’ events create humor, challenge, and memories. The second location starts with potential danger and transitions to learning a life skill that will serve his family just a couple years later. Victor’s many fishing adventures are not what you would expect and lead to many suspenseful situations. Those situations seem typical for him as he narrowly escapes death from some pranksters that leave scars on his mind and body.
