Troublemaker — Robert McKay

To some, Jesse is a born troublemaker but to many others he is a high school senior asking to be treated as a citizen with feelings and rights.

“He's the most hostile boy I ever saw in my life.” “He's the grooviest hostile boy I ever saw.” “He's pretty serious, I guess.” “He was in reformatory, or maybe prison.” “We know one thing for sure -- he rescued that red bird from the snow.” “He might be a little nutty. But he also might be some kind of genius.” “I don't know if he's a super rock star, baby -- but he's a super kind of something, and you better believe that!”
