Description
Ricky has always been more comfortable around animals than people, so he is devastated when vandals break into the school and kill many of the animals kept in his classroom, including Bogart, the boa constrictor. Inspired by real events in the author’s own life, Ricky is one of Eric Walters’s most personal novels.
