Bruce doesn't necessarily consider himself saint -- he just refuses to conform. He has a conscience, and he almost always follows it, even though none of his friends do. It was they, after all, who dubbed him Saint Bruce. But when his four closest friends make a terrible mistake and let him in on it, he unwittingly turns them in. The four are suspended, and everyone blames Bruce for their misery. But who really was at fault? What is right, and what is wrong? And how did things get so terribly out of hand? As Bruce begins to question those involved, he starts a long, uphill struggle to figure out exactly who he is. Uncommonly thoughtful and surprisingly funny, this novel provides a fascinating look at the moral dilemmas faced by one high school senior.
