between 1929-1930 in a small city in Rhode Island. The main character is Ruben he is a young
teenager. He was born in the early 1900s, he is an only child that lives with his mother and father. The story begins with a boy named David, he is trying to find a story for the news paper, about the prohibition area after many decades of it happening.
After talking to many people he find Ruben. Ruben tells him that one day while walking down the beach with his best friend Jeddy they found a dead body. They report to his sister Marina about this and when they go to find the dead body it is no were to be found. The next day he talks to Jeddy and they decide to go to the beach and ask Tom a homeless man that lives at the beach about what he saw. They talk to him they spend most of their day their and later that night Ruben goes to deliver medicine as told by his dad he see a boat coming in at the harbor which he believe is the black duck, an alcohol smuggling ship. He is asked to do a "job" for twenty dollars and when thing go wrong Ruben runs away.
After a few days after the "job" a new man comes into town and acts extremely friendly that is what I have read so far. I believe that theme of the book is that we should not get mad over the little thing that makes us made for those we care for I say this because in the bookJeddy and Ruben are having trouble with their friendship and they are drifting apart. I believe it's because they are getting made at each other do to the dead body.
That sounds interesting! Although, you do not have a video or picture.
