Rule of the Bone

[Read by Kirby Heyborne]When we first meet him, Chappie is a punkedout teenager living in an upstate New York trailer park. During this time, he slips into drugs and petty crime. Rejected by his parents, out of school, and in trouble with the police, he claims for himself a new identity as a permanent outsider; he gets a crossedbones tattoo on his arm and takes the name ''Bone.'' He hops from place to place, finally settling in an abandoned school bus with Rose, a child he rescues from a fasttalking pedophile. There Bone meets IMan, an exiled Rastafarian, and together they travel to the ganjagrowing mountains of Jamaica. It is an amazing journey of selfdiscovery through a world of magic, violence, betrayal, and redemption.
