Swansboro People Noah Pelletier

A new school. A rival town. And a powerful enemy obsessed with revenge... On Tallon Jackson's first day at Swansboro Middle School, he's worried about making new friends when he spots a familiar face. Zoro and Tallon were friends in Bible school-at least, Tallon thought they were. But memories can be fickle. When their reunion turns sour, Zoro uses his social clout to turn the entire school against Tallon. The only person willing to befriend Tallon is Terry, an African-American accustomed to being an outsider in a predominantly white school. Terry explains how Zoro has a history of crushing his enemies, but when Tallon disregards this warning he learns firsthand that Zoro is far more sinister than he ever imagined. Following a stint in the hospital, Tallon devises a plan to get himself expelled from Swansboro Middle-and away from Zoro-forever. But when another friend from his past mysteriously enters his life, Tallon sees another way out. Together with Terry, the three boys devise an ingenious plan that will expose Zoro, redeem their reputations, and win over the students of Swansboro Middle school-if they don't get arrested. - From the author: Hi, and thanks for being here. Just a quick FYI, this book takes place one year after Emerald Isle People, the first novel in the series
