A coming-of-age tale set at the dawn of World War I, where youth, duty, and community collide over a school flag and a town’s divided heart.

This novel follows Penfield Butler as he navigates friendships, family ties, and a nation’s looming conflict. From a small town where two neighborhoods shield a shared history, to a school project that ignites rivalry and pride, the story unfolds through a boy’s decisions about work, loyalty, and the meaning of home. With warmth and quiet humor, it explores how courage can look like choosing a different path when the stakes are high. What you’ll experience

The formation of character as a fourteen-year-old faces a hard choice between family expectations and personal dreams.
A grounded portrait of community life, school life, and the early momentum of a world at war.
Milestones of growth, responsibility, and the chase for a meaningful place in a larger story.
Shifts in family dynamics and the pull between heritage and new opportunities.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical coming-of-age stories with heart, and tales of how communities navigate change. The book invites reflection on duty, resilience, and what it means to belong.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

It lay unsullied on the village roofs, and, trampled but not yet soiled, in the village streets. The spruce trees on the lawn at Bannerhall were weighted with it, and on the lawn itself it rested, like an ermine blanket, soft and satisfying. Down the steps of the porch that stretched across the front of the mansion, a boy ran, whistling, to the street. He was slender and wiry, agile and surefooted. He had barely reached the gate when the front door of the square, stately old brick house was opened and a woman came out on the porch and called to him. Pen! Yes, Aunt Millicent. He turned to listen to her.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a rivalry between two boys, Pen and Aleck, who are the leaders of their respective villages, the Hilltops and the Riverbeds. The rivalry heats up when the boys are tasked with raising funds to purchase an American flag for their school. Aleck, through a clever scheme to impress Colonel Butler, a wealthy and influential citizen, manages to secure a donation of the flag, leaving Pen empty-handed. Despite the disappointment, Pen is appointed to give the acceptance speech at the flag presentation ceremony, but he declines, feeling bitter toward Aleck. The author explores themes of fairness, honor, and the importance of putting aside personal differences for the greater good. This book is a timeless tale about the complexities of human nature and the challenges of fostering harmony in the face of competition.
