Boy on a Wire

"Sent to boarding school at a young age, Jack Muir decides he's a survivor. He gets by with a quick wit and a fast mouth. Others aren't so lucky. This book from stand-up comedian and writer, Jon Doust, is humorous, and deeply poignant - a close-to-the-bone tale of how underdogs survive the system."@en

"Depicting the full spectrum of adolescent alienation, this engaging, coming-of-age narrative is a humorous blend of novel and memoir. A sensitive, quick-witted boy from a small town, Jack Muir adores his mother, yearns for affection from his father, and lives in the shadow of his accomplished brother. Sent to a boarding school at a young age, Jack must quickly decide what sort of person he will bethe type that succumbs to the pressure of bullies and the school system or the type that fights back, using clever banter and intellect to get by. With a unique and authentic voice, this darkly humor."@en
