The Longest School Day

About the Book

This book is about a boy going to a boarding school and making new friends. It is a story of how doing someone wrong can have an effect on the entire campus and students. Who knew a letterman’s jacket could be this much trouble. The second half of this book is a collection of comic strips involving the characters you met in “The Longest School Day”. Some of these comic strips appeared in weekly Indian newspapers in South Dakota.
