(3) YA Angry when he sees the girl he likes meeting another boy at Blackwater River, thirteen-year-old Brodie engages in some ill-considered horseplay. Both Pauline and Otis drown, and Brodie soon begins receiving mysterious messages urging him to confess. Similar in plot and theme to Marion Dane Bauer's On My Honor, the book effectively explores issues of honesty and personal responsibility.
