"Fourmile" by Watt Key is a gripping coming-of-age story set in a small Southern town. The narrative follows the life of a twelve-year-old boy named McKinley, who stumbles upon a mysterious girl named Lila while wandering through the woods. As he gets to know her, he learns that she is living in a precarious situation, lost and alone after escaping from a troubled home. The two forge a bond, navigating the challenges of adolescence, family dynamics, and the harsh realities of life. The story explores themes of friendship, courage, and the importance of finding one's place in the world. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
