How a good kid does bad things, with his friends (not bad seeds themselves, just loosely-supervised preteen boys) egging him on. Trials and misadventures, fights and fallouts, and a long history with best friends unraveling over girls. 
 Picked up for the similar premise to Scrawl (delinquent kid writing his heart out as punishment for having committed some type of bullying act); Scrawl, I think, did it better.
