The Prince and his Pauper

A moving and very well-written story about two boys, one shy and one self-confident, great friends. It is about being there for each other, caring for each other, especially when help is needed. And it is about learning about oneself, one's strengths and interest - even when that leads to opposing people we love. 

Well worth reading and absolutely edifying. 

A delightful story about the burgeoning relationship between two teenage boys, Brayden and Charlie.

Brayden, a confident boy who is happy in his own skin, is drawn to Charlie who is shy and quiet, seemingly not wanting to be seen. Encouraged by Brayden, Charlie auditions for the lead In their school’s production of a very popular play currently in season overseas. Charlie is successful in his audition and finds a place where he shines and in which he can hide in public, but for how long.

What happens in Charlie's life and by default in Brayden's life as a result of Charlie's stellar performance in the school play, is a series of events which demonstrate that sometimes dreams can come true.

The usual high standard of storytelling by the author @Mark Ponyboy Peters, who once again retains the services of @MJC as his editor, resulting in a flawless work which was a pleasure to read. Well-written characters, believable plots and universal themes, the usual hallmark of Mark’s works are ever present.

Read and enjoy.

It is so well composed and written that all I can say is:  READ IT !!!!  The main characters pull you into a life with fear, bullying, friendship, protection and love.
