The hangman always comes at the worst times. Jason Taylor has grown used to many things in the village of Black Swan Green. As a young adolescent boy, he has accepted the daily turmoil of his life during school hours, but the hangman is different. The hangman is the one who steals his words and causes him to stammer. His stammer, he fears, could lead him to be the most mocked boy in all of England. Each day he lives his adventures and fights the hangman along with numerous other teenage boys who are just waiting to start a fight one day and be his friend the next. Love, war and teen angst come together to create a page-turner not to be missed.
