Violence: Mild Violence,Violence: Strong Violence

When Blue Baker's father dies, Blue begins writing stories about a wild, vicious boy he calls the savage. "When I drew him and wrote about him, I could see him, I could hear him, I could smell him. Sometimes it was nearly like I was him and he was me." The stories make Blue feel better, especially when he writes about the savage threatening Hopper, a local bully-but then Blue realizes that the savage has come to life.
