The judge told Carl that 1 day he’d need to decide exactly what sort of person he would become. But on Phoenix Island, the decision will be produced for him.

A champion boxer with a clear hook about Phoenix Island and a short temper, sixteen-year-old Carl Freeman continues to be shuffled from foster house to foster home. He can’t seem to stay out of trouble-using his fists to defend weaker classmates from bullies.
