It is a simpler time in the beautiful island of Barbados. Mobile phones are now becoming a fad, social media is mostly limited to instant messaging, and corporal punishment is the preferred method of discipline. There are some things, however, which remain constant through the ages, such as teenagers' desire for popularity.
Thirteen-year-old Adrian Manning would go to any length to achieve popularity. This desire to be popular pushes him to take incredible risks, including a deadly bus ride and a perilous canal crossing. Each risk brings with it, complications, and each complication forces him to take further risks. The biggest risk may, however, be the omnipresent threat of his mother's retribution. Will Adrian overcome his perilous trials? Will he ever learn from his mistakes? Disaster after exciting disaster, find out the answers to these questions as you follow the adventures of Adrian-at large.
