Dodger Boy - Ellis, Sarah

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; In 1970 Vancouver, 13-year-old Charlotte and her best friend, Dawn, are keen to avoid the pitfalls of adolescence. But life becomes complicated when the girls meet a Texan draft dodger who comes to live with Charlotte's Quaker family. Tom Ed expands Charlotte's horizons as they discuss everything from war to civil disobedience to women's liberation. Grappling with exhilarating and disturbing new ideas, faced with a censorship challenge to her beloved English teacher and trying to decode the charismatic draft dodger himself, Charlotte finds it harder and harder to stick to her 'unteen' philosophy, and to see eye to eye with Dawn.
