Paper Covers Rock

By Jenny Hubbard

Alex, a junior at an exclusive boarding school, uses his journal (neatly hidden inside a copy of Moby Dick) to relate the disturbing events that led to the drowning of a classmate.  Hubbard's literary references, her creation of Alex's poems and journal entries, and her storytelling skills combine in a story about the code of silence that often compromises the code of honor.
