Some say your teenage years are like falling up stairs — sometimes painful, but you'll eventually get there. Here then are two separate stories about boys who are in the middle of their hurtful journeys. The first boy, Matthew, aims to win the girl of his dreams, but the dreams keep interfering with his reality and he makes many a stumble
The second boy, Geoffrey, likes to have things just so, neat, tidy and well-ordered. But sometimes rude life intrudes, which is what happens to Geoffrey when he is caught up in a daring bank robbery. And worse, he is taken to be in league with the robbers.
