The Trial by Jen Bryant, Paperback. FLEMINGTON I’ve lived in this town my whole life and I can tell you .
Each week, the farmers bring their chickens and eggs to market and the grain trucks dump and load up at Miller’s Feed Store on North Main. The streets are wide and clean,the shop- keepers are friendly, and all the children walk to school. At Christmas, Santa comes to the bank and gives out candy- stuffed stockings, and on Halloween there’s a big parade at the courthouse with cider and donuts and prizes for the Prettiest, Funniest, and Scariest. With all this, you’d think I’d be happy as a clam here in Flemington, and why that’s not so, I may never really know–but I do know that whenever I read. National. Geographic or Timeor look through one of my uncle’s travel books–the ones with pictures of glaciers and deserts,palm- treed islands and busy cities–I’m always wishing myself into them. Sometimes I try to remember my father.
Sometimes, when there’s nothing else to do,I stay all day until the last train leaves, and all I can see is a thin line of steam, way off in the distance. SULLENAt the tracks, I usually find Mike, his back against the big wooden box where the station master keeps his rain cape and his tools. We don’t talk much. But once in a while, we talk a lot.
Mike told me his mother died when he was five and his father has been drinking too much ever since. On sunny days, I bring a book and read it while he whittles oak sticks into animals with his pocket knife, or with his hands, shapes faces from and pieces of clay. When I bring leftovers from the kitchen he tries to refuse, but when I start chewing, he does too.

He borrows my books, and I know he’s smart because he asks me all these questions about the characters that I never thought about before,and I have to go home and think on them before I can answer. Mike is not like the other boys I know . At school, he’s real quiet. He sits in the back row so no one will notice if he falls asleep from staying up late waiting for his father. The teachers all say he’s “sullen,”but if you tell him a good joke, he laughs the kind of laugh that makes you join in, makes you forget your troubles. Once, when he walked me home, he stopped before the big blue house on the corner to watch the family inside at supper: the mother serving the soup, the father carving the bread, the children chattering–the neat white plates,the yellow curtains on the windows,the warm steam rising from the bowls.
WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENED . Actually, something didhappen here about two years ago–not in our town exactly, but just ten miles away, in Hopewell, N. J. Something happened on March 1st, 1. Colonel Charles Lindbergh,the first man to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone, our bravest and greatest pilot, an American hero. Something happened on that stormy night, as the wind howled outside his house on Sourland Mountain,while the Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh were reading and sipping tea and Wahgoosh, their terrier, laid curled at their feet. Something happened to the their little baby–Charles Lindbergh, Jr., just 2.
Someone climbed into a second- floor window and pulled Little Charlie out of his crib and carried him outside to a ladder and climbed down holding him while the wind groaned and a car waited. Someone kidnapped Charles Lindbergh’s first- born son, leaving only some muddy footprints,a broken ladder,and a ransom note. And no one saw who did it. From the Hardcover edition.
