"Paperboy" by Louise Borden follows the story of a young boy in the 1960s who takes on the responsibility of delivering newspapers in his neighborhood. Each morning, he rises early to throw papers from his bicycle, navigating the challenges of mastering the route while facing the realities of growing up. As he encounters the various personalities of his readers and the communities along his path, he learns valuable lessons about responsibility, hard work, and the bonds of friendship. The narrative weaves together themes of nostalgia, childhood innocence, and the small but significant moments that shape a young person's life.
