From the Publisher
Every morning fifteen-year-old Wil Neuton gets up, brushes his teeth, leaves the house, and rows away from shore. He's discovered the island--a place where he can go to be alone and learn to know nature--and himself. On the island he watches the loons and the fish in the lake, and writes and paints. It feels good to get away from the tension rising between his parents, tension brought on by yet another move to a new town.

But Wil can't stay away from the outside world forever. He must face Ray Bunner, the bully determined to challenge him, and his parents, who worry when Wil decides to stay on the island indefinitely. Can Wil bridge the growing gap between himself and the rest of the world?

This is the kind of book it would have like much more to read it when I was a bit younger (as it is made for a younger audience), but it was enjoyable enough.

This is a funny little book. Eponine38 wrote a good description so I won't repeat it. I Had a few chuckles along the way. Especially when the councelor came out to the island to talk to Wil . On leaving he said that he found nothing wrong with Wil, but that he could treat him for that.
