It is an instruction manual detailing how to handle yourself and other people. Mentors and Tormentors is not another predictable, coming-of-age story. Our nosey hero then battles a sadistic psychopath, gets cheated by a con man, and talks a best friend back from a botched suicide attempt. He gets his hands dirty when his father transplants the family to a rundown farm. But Wendall isn’t just a passive student. However, each is a specialist who thoroughly comprehends a specific facet of human nature: happiness, manipulation, and saying no, to list only a few. During a span of four inquisitive years, his view of the world is transformed by a colorful cast of small-town characters. No matter how embarrassing, Wendall must know why people think, feel, say, and do sometimes-crazy things. Fortunately, he discovers a cure for his youthful shortcomings. But on closer inspection, Wendall is so much more. At first glance, he is just another middle-class fourteen-year-old.
