If your pet was poisoned, how far would you go to get payback? Evens Duluce, a small ambitious Haitian boy, knows the man who poisoned Scraps, his dog, but can do little about it. He vows to get even somehow, someway. Unfortunately, no magic wands, incantations, or friendly creatures can help. He's not sure how to get even for the dog's death until he stumbles upon the dark secret of the high school bully, Algie. Evens, in grade ten and much too small to physically confront Algie, must control him somehow. Handling the walking, talking slab of meat on the senior football team is risky and likely to be painful. Evens manages most of the flyer and newspaper deliveries around his small town. With a sharp eye and suspicious streak, he holds secrets about his customers, secrets they'd rather stay hidden. They too, find their way into his complex plan where the enemies he makes are the only ones that can help him. Perhaps a touch bit of voodoo will help things along.
