Henry Stroud, proprietor of the I Fry takeaway wagon, takes him under his wing and rechristens him "Mr. Dog." Still full of anger six years later, Chester sets out to plot revenge on his father's killer and finds that he must contend with Boss Lennox, the Sultation Kid, and the seductive and inscrutable Miss Peet before he gets to the showdown. This mythical story reconfigures the New Zealand experience with an absorbing coming-of-age tale. |
