The fact that someone lead the boys to this body using their own secret ( or so they think) communication method intensifies the mystery surrounding this already quite perplexing discovery.īut while the chalk message that lead the boys into the woods was exceedingly temporary, the impact of their discovery would, presumably, not be.įortunately for us, we don’t have to make presumptions about the lasting impact this singular event will have on the boys as, throughout the book, the author jumps from the past to the present, presenting us with grown Ed ( because Eddie is a baby name), Gav ( he’s no longer fat), Mickey ( he got the braces off his teeth and is therefore no longer metal) and Hoppo ( he didn’t change enough to earn himself a new name). They were actually lead to the body by someone who knew how to speak a special language consisting of chalk-drawn stick figures and symbols that the boys had spent the majority of the summer of 1986 building. The life of protagonist Eddie and his ragtag bunch of friends (Hoppo, Fat Gav and Metal Mickey) changed forever when they happened upon the dismembered body of a girl in their local woods.īut their discovery wasn’t as unexpected as it would seem.
