Synopsis
Grandparents will relive their high school years and share them with their teenage grandchildren as they read this compelling coming-of-age story from the 1950s.Tim Holcomb, Mark Easton, and the Fisher twins have been pals all through grade school. They are together so much that once at a school picnic, someone in fun called them "The Four Wheels." The boys liked it, and when they enrolled at Wilson High, it seemed a capital idea to launch themselves into high school as the Four Wheels. They think of themselves as a four-wheeled buggy. Still, this allusion didn’t precisely fit because a carriage requires a horse. The boys have no intention of ever adding a fifth to their group. They like being exclusively four. Unanimously they agree, early in their freshman year, that high school is a bore. "Action is what this school needs. And we'll provide some!" Impressed with their own importance they march through their freshman year. When a newcomer joins the football team which hasn’t won a game for a year, they begrudgingly realize he can boost their chances at winning. However, things fall apart as the Four Wheels find other interests than sports and they ride the rollercoaster of their teen years growing apart only to learn the lessons of teamwork. As they each find their own goals, winning becomes possible. FOUR WHEELS: A 1950s teen-age saga is an effort to contribute a piece of literature which presents sports and music as contingent parts of human experience and assigns to teachers and parents the privileged and rewarding role they occupy in the lives of their young people as they come of age. It may also help today’s youth better understand that their grandparents and parents were once teenagers.
