A lonely third grader draws a picture but loses it. The janitor finds it.From there the story begins.Written entirely in the second person, this story focuses on a struggle, your struggle: how to make a difference in this world. From grammar school through high school, you live an uneventful life in a small town in a third world country. You are always watching the world go by. You try to get to the center of the action but you cannot. One fall day when you're raking, you put down the rake and someone else picks it up. It's the janitor, the one who found your picture so many years ago. He never met you. In fact, he imagined everything you did since third grade. When he picks up the rake, he realizes he needs to stop imagining your life and start living his own.
