Bone, the novel's fourteen-year-old protagonist lives in upstate New York. He has "a disturbed stepfather, a long-suffering mother, and a long-gonefather. The first half of the book chronicles his . . . drift into criminality. His life takes a turn for the better when he moves into an abandoned school bus with a Jamaican mystic. He travels to Jamaica with 'I-man,' and there he finds his . . . father, turns 15, is sexually initiated, and loses I-man ina violent drug deal." (SLJ)
| | | | From The Publisher
Chappie, the precociously wise narrator of Rule of the Bone, is a punked-out teenager living in an upstate New York trailer park with his mother and abusive stepfather. Almost accidentally he slips into drugs and petty crime. Rejected by his parents, out of school and in trouble with the police, he drifts through crash pads, doper squats, and malls. With his best friend, Russ, he gets a crossed-bone tattoo on his arm and takes the name "Bone," inventing and claiming for himself a new identity as a permanent outsider.
