The Scar Boys by Len Vlahos is about Harbinger Robert Francis Jones (Harry) who almost struck by lightning, almost killed his best friends, and was in a kick-butt rock & roll band that almost made it big, but failed. It all started with a college essay that was only supposed to be 250 words to get to know the student (Harry) but ended up being a novel (Good job Len..).
Jones was tied to a tree by some neighborhood buttheads & was standing there, stuck in a tangle of ropes against some giant tree in the middle of a storm. He counted how close it was (You know...one mississippi, two, etc) & realized it was getting closer & closer. Soon the storm was right above his head (literally) & lightning was striking the tree he was tied to. He heard yelling from his mother, so he yelled back, but he wasn’t loud enough to yell over the loud, bright, lightning & …show more content…
Soon he blacked out before he realized he was being burned alive & roasted like a marshmallow. The next time he wakes up, he is in a hospital, all he sees is white & evidently, doctors & nurses.
After this, he wasn't exactly bullied, he never got mean words spewed at him besides every once & awhile, he was simply just...ignored. No friends, sat alone & everyone either starred or kept their head down. Besides the one day that Johnny spoke up to him, also know as, the most popular boy in school. He didn't answer at first, thinking he was either talking AT him or to someone else, until he said “I'm talking to you”. That's when things changed. Johnny & Harry became best friends, they both needed each other. Johnny is popular which made Harry have friends & Harry wants to keepy Johnny around so he has friends, so he is like a sidekick. Always doing things for him, including being a kick butt guitar player in their band The Scar Boys. The band included Johnny as the singer, Harry as the lead
