Charlie is and forever will be the gamal, short for the Irish word "gamalog." "Gamallogue" in English. He's the village idiot, the weird kid. He keeps to himself and his neighbors and parents think he's dim, dumb, and troubled. This is Charlie's story, and he writes it down to ease his grief. Charlie has lost his two best friends, James and Sinead, the only people who ever saw Charlie for who he was: smart but quiet, awkward but desperately loyal. James and Sinead were in love, and when James believed that Sinead had drowned, he commited suicide. Sinead, wracked with grief and falling apart, was found murdered shortly thereafter.Charlie's account of the tragic loss of his friends and the court case that followed is straightforward, immediate, and almost painfully honest. Charlie's story is truly heartbreaking, but as he comes into his own, "The Gamal "offers what all readers need: hope. Media ><
