        <description><![CDATA[Roy's father, Mr. Eberhart, helps his son in two very important ways.  First, he helps Roy to decide what he should do about an injustice about which he feels very strongly.  And then, when the decision is made, Roy's father uses his resources to provide Roy with some very important evidence to expose the parties against whom Roy is fighting.
Roy gets himself in deep trouble when he allows Mullet Fingers to check into the Emergency Room...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Roy has twice caught a glimpse of a mysterious running boy as he is looking out the window of the schoolbus in the afternoon.  Consumed by curiosity, he precipitously gets off the bus the second time he sees the boy, and follows him for several blocks - "over fences, through shrubbery, weaving through yapping dogs and lawn sprinklers and hot tubs".  The boy runs onto a golf course, with Roy in hot pursuit.  Unfortunately for Roy, he is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Chapter 20, at the groundbreaking ceremony of Mother Paula's Pancake House, Chuck Muckle and the other dignitaries were given gold painted shovels to scoop up the sand, "Gold-painted shovels were handed out, and on Mr. Muckle's signal all the dignitaries smiled, leaned over, and dug up a scoopful of sand" (Chapter 20, pg 262). This occurs right before Roy calls out to everyone about the owls, and the protest to protect the owls from the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Beatrice helps Roy because at first she feels sorry for him as he is new in town. Roy is being terrorized on the bus by a bully named Dana Matherson.  Beatrice doesn't help Roy so much out of caring for Roy as out of dislike for Dana.  She also knows who the "barefoot boy" is.
Later as their relationship develops, she helps him because he is helping her step-brother.  They have a crusade against the construction company that is going to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Roy's family is comparatively ideal, and his parents are intelligent, reasonable, and supportive.  When Roy has problems, he is unafraid to go to his parents for advice, and together they examine issues and help each other come to logical conclusions.  Roy's parents discipline him when they think he has gotten seriously out of line, but they also listen to his side of things.  Mostly, they trust their son to do the right thing, and allow...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the things that the author is trying to say is that problems need to be confronted directly and rationally.  Roy does this when he goes over to Beatrice in the cafeteria to find out why she is behaving so antagonistically towards him.  Beatrice is &quot;in a state of shock&quot; at being approached in this manner, but the two of them manage to &quot;talk about (their problems) like civilized human beings&quot; (Ch.4).   The author also...]]></description>
