A pair of 10 year old boys seeking the main chance (in other words mischief) run riot over the west coast of British Columbia in the 1950's. In this comic novel the narrator looks back on his youth to the moments when he finds his one love and then loses her, finds a true friend and loses him too, but finds also that there's a lot to be said for loss. Whether he's recalling his efforts to sink a swamped canoe, search a mountain for a downed fighter plane, or seek first love while attending a PTA meeting, the narrator looks back with a gentle eye on the people whose good, bad, and indifferent attitudes will shape his destiny.
