Apologize My Ass: Volume 2

"Is it braggin' to say I saved a town?">Twelve-year-old Oliver Ellison loves his summers with his grandparents. Riding his bike here and there between his grandmothers' lessons on becoming a gentleman, Oliver is seemingly invisible to adults, so he manages to overhear a lot. One of his favorite stops is the gas station of his miserly and misanthropic old-maid great uncles. It is here that one evening he witnesses the conversation that ultimately sets off the spark of disagreement between the two old brothers, igniting the town as everyone chooses sides. Narrated by the now fourteen-year-old Oliver, along with an omniscient third person, what follows is a pairing of the absurd with the sentimental as Oliver tries desperately to tell the truth of what he heard, and bring Opp back to its simple, magical place as the City of Opportunity.
