There's little love in eight-year-old Tom Bedford's life. His parents are old and remote and the boarding school they've sent him to bristles with bullies and sadistic staff.

They move to Hollywood and all his dreams...

Not up to par

I liked The Horse Whisperer, The Loop, and The Divide, so I tried The Brave. I am not drawn into the characters, it flies back and forth past to present, and I’m 2/3 of the way through still wondering if there is a point. I’ve taken to skimming one line per page.
