Book #14 of 2023. Fairy Tale by Stephen King.
I really enjoyed this story! Charlie Reade is your typical high school junior - good student, good athlete, good kid - with a not-so-typical past OR future.
Charlie’s mother was killed in a horrible accident when he was a small boy and his dad turned to alcoholism to cope. When we meet Charlie, both are doing much better.
One day, Charlie is riding past the home of a cantankerous neighbor and hears a call for help. He does the neighborly thing and helps Mr. Bowditch, which takes his life in a completely new direction. He finds out things about Mr. Bowditch that he never would have imagined and they become very close friends. Then Mr. Bowditch dies and he finds a whole new world!
Charlie ventures to this world and his journey leads him to discover the type of man he will become - but he has to choose. Will he be a Disney Prince or a Dark Prince? The story was riveting! 4.75/5
