Then SPOILER ALERT a wayward car driver hits Davey and his best two mates when they are on their bikes on the way to the beach and Davey's whole world changes due to the terrible injury sustained by his friend Pete. Then, to make matters worse, Tom stands on a landmine and loses a leg in Vietnam.
Davey has to grow up quickly.
Well-written with a twist on home soil I did not see coming. ( )
