The woods behind eleven-year-old Dean's house are ideal for army games, but aspects of the adult world soon encroach. Trouble at school and an encounter with a homeless veteran alter Dean's self-confidence. This graphic novel convincingly captures the interior and exterior worlds of a preadolescent boy. Pyle's innovative illustrations show Dean's reality in duo-tone and his interior war-game fantasies in full-color panels.
