Randalls Wall

Inside your wall no one can touch you It was Randall''s sister who first told him about the invisible wall that protected her from the cruelty of her classmates. By the time Randall is in fifth grade he''s had his own wall for years. Inside his wall he doesn''t have to think about his abusive father gone for several months or his thin suffering mother who never leaves the house -- the house with no running water for laundry or baths. Inside his wall he can dream about picnics about riding on his Uncle Luke''s motorcycle and always he can lose himself in his drawing. But one day Randall makes a friend and slowly frighteningly his wall begins to crumble. And miraculously the gift that comforted Randall within his wall opens up a new world outside it.
