Summer, 1965. Late one night, thirteen year old Charlie Bucktin is startled by a knock on his window.
His visitor is Jasper Jones. Rebellious, mixed race and solitary, Jasper is intriguing. And he needs Charlie's help. In the dead of night, the boys steal through town, and Charlie learns of Jasper's horrible discovery. Burdened by a terrible secret and the weight of a town's suspicion, Charlie feels his world closing in.
After this Summer nothing will ever be the same again.
