When we first meet him, Chappie is a punked-out teenager living
with his mother and abusive stepfather in an upstate New York
trailer park. During this time, he slips into drugs and petty
crime. Rejected by his parents, out of school, and in trouble with
the police, he claims for himself a new identity as a permanent
outsider; he gets a crossed-bones tattoo on his arm, and takes the
name Bone. He finds dangerous refuge with a group of biker-thieves,
and then hides in the boarded-up summer house of a professor and
his wife. He finally settles in an abandoned school bus with Rose,
a child he rescues from a fast-talking pedophile.
There Bone meets I-Man, an exiled Rastafarian, and together they
begin a second adventure that takes the reader from Middle America
to the ganja-growing mountains of Jamaica. It is an amazing journey
of self-discovery through a world of magic, violence, betrayal, and
redemption.
