My childhood best friend's landline number is also the only one I still remember! The similarities between Jude and Tommy's friendship and mine with my best friend, aptly named Tim, are uncanny so far.
Having these boys as bookworms is important. Reading is the key to lifelong learning and success. Bookworms are often cliche secondary characters that serve as the butt of jokes and an example of what's uncool. I was fortunate that my mother took my sister and me to the public library regularly as young children. A progressive mother of one of my classmates in grade school started a Great Books discussion group and invited me to join. I read and discussed 6 or 8 literary classics of interest to children, e.g., Treasure Island, Robinson Caruso, Tom Sawyer. What a great opportunity! This chapter builds on the first and strengthens the bond between the two boys. Big T possesses an interesting combination of qualities that make him an intriguing character.

I love that James. I am counting on that being the case for a lot of people reading and it’s all so relatable!

Thanks KC! He is definitely the 'main' character as opposed to the narrator.
Lovely continuation, Clancy. But oh no, the foreshadowing of that closing line! 😬
Haha thanks Nathan — don’t worry, it’s just middle schoolers being middle schoolers!
I love this growing friendship ☺️❤️.
