Friends Mike, Tommy, Mixer and Bones are bound at school by their remedial English class and their teacher, Mr. Haberman who calls them gentlemen. But when Tommy shows up missing, the boys suspect Mr. Haberman.
This suspenseful realistic teen drama should appeal to not only reluctant readers but any reader who loves a good who-dun-it thriller. The honest portrayal of the tough guy main characters adds to the realism as does the ups and downs of young adult friendship.
