Cricket Chirpin has spent the last 8 years of his life in the Prison as he calls it, the Naskeag Home for Boys, an orphanage. How he wound up there with the Sisters of Mercy (I think) unfolds slowly as the book progresses. Cricket can't stand to see anyone pick on the Little Ones, the younger boys in the orphanage, and will use his boxing skills to fight anyone who tries. He is suspended from school twice and Mother Mary is at her wits end about what to do with him. He hangs out with a drug dealer and does his share of drugs and drinking but really isn't that bad a guy. He reveals his storytelling skills to the Little Ones and ultimately his English teacher when he writes a letter to life and Ms. Lord questions him in her comments on the paper asking him to be more specific. What starts as a joke response, Dear Life, You suck, becomes something much more to Cricket. A good read for boys but anyone can enjoy this one.
