It is a simpler time in the beautiful island of Barbados. Mobile phones are now becoming a fad, social media is mostly limited to instant messaging, and corporal punishment is the preferred method of discipline. There are some things, however, which remain constant through the ages, such as teenagers' desire for popularity.

Thirteen-year-old Adrian Manning would go to any length to achieve popularity. This desire to be popular pushes him to take incredible risks, including a deadly bus ride and a perilous canal crossing. Each risk brings with it, complications, and each complication forces him to take further risks. The biggest risk may, however, be the omnipresent threat of his mother's retribution. Will Adrian overcome his perilous trials? Will he ever learn from his mistakes? Disaster after exciting disaster, find out the answers to these questions as you follow the adventures of Adrian-at large.

After years of ill-fated schemes, Adrian has finally reached a turning point in his life. Now, he's a pretty well-adjusted sixteen-year-old, preparing to graduate secondary school with academic distinction.

The schemes might be gone, but even with the purest of intentions, the adventure and peril that underscored his formative years still occasionally pop up. As present and past situations collide, startling revelations occur, eventually causing him to consider one last scheme; a scheme with the highest stakes and possibly the greatest danger he has ever faced-but also the greatest reward!

Danger, suspense, humiliation, mistrust and selfless sacrifice all come together, making Adrian's last year of school a year to remember.

Will the life-altering perils ahead all be worth it in the end? Find out in this engaging but poignant conclusion if the perils might just lead to the ultimate thing to put Adrian at liberty.
