Jasper Jones is a coming of age story about Charlie Bucktin, a bookish boy of 14.
On the night that Jasper Jones, the town's mixed race outcast shows him the
dead body of young Laura Wishart, Charlie's life is changed forever. Entrusted
with this secret and believing Jasper to be innocent, Charlie embarks on a
dangerous journey to find the true killer. Set over the scorching summer
holidays of 1965, Charlie defeats the local racists, faces the breakup of his
parents and falls head over heels in love as he discovers what it means to be
truly courageous.
