About the book
The book is about four twelve years-old boys, Gordon, Chris, Teddy, and Vern, who is the main charter. They live in a small town in USA. They have a tree house; there they use to live. One day Vern came up in the tree house, he was out of breath. He had heard from his brother, that a boy called ray Brower was dead lying by the railroads tracks. Suddenly there was a silence between the boys who were there too, everybody looked at everyone. The body was about 30-40 miles away from the town. The boys decide to go and look for the body. When they would find the body every newspaper in the country would write about them. So they packed their bags and started walking along the railway tracks. Chris, the coolest of the four boys had a gun with him. What the kid didn’t know was that Ace Merrill also was looking for the body. A lot of things happen to Gordon during the journey. At last they were there, by the rail tracks was the body. The four boys stood there with respect to the body. After a while someone came, it was Ace. Behind him was eyeball, Chris big brother.

After that they went to their home. No one of the boys forgot this journey.
