Doli Incapax: The Story of a Juvenile Delinquent

by Devin Brown

Are humans inherently evil? If so, where does it all begin? Is it the stain of the soul known as Original Sin, passed down from mankind's progenitors, Adam and Eve? MacAulay Barnes and his friends would doubtless have been expelled from the Garden of Eden. But Garnett Street Elementary School is not the Garden of Eden and the powers that rule there are not omniscient protectors of virtue. This group of juvenile delinquents is entering grade eight and their final year of elementary school. But they will not be permitted to go quietly under the watchful eye of the bumbling vice principal Mr. Ricker, who will stop at nothing to ensure that these elusive hell-raisers pay for their rebelliousness. Both sides will meet head-on as the boys attempt to withstand the unconventional ploys of their monomaniacal vice principal, all the while refusing to abandon their true nature.
