A 2012 Michael L. Printz HonorBook
Charlie Bucktin, a bookish thirteen year old, is startled one
summer night by an urgent knock on his bedroom window. His visitor
is Jasper Jones, an outcast in their small mining town, and he has
come to ask for Charlie's help. Terribly afraid but desperate to
impress, Charlie follows him into the night.
Jasper takes him to his secret glade, where Charlie witnesses
Jasper's horrible discovery. With his secret like a brick in his
belly, Charlie is pushed and pulled by a town closing in on itself
in fear and suspicion. He locks horns with his tempestuous mother,
falls nervously in love, and battles to keep a lid on his zealous
best friend. In the simmering summer where everything changes,
Charlie learns why the truth of things is so hard to know, and even
harder to hold in his heart.
"From the Hardcover edition."
