Joe’s father counsels Ox continually until Ox begins to think of him as his true father-and the feeling is mutual. They invite Ox over for dinners all the time, and Joe is soon Ox’s best friend. When bullies at school attempt to taunt Ox, the Bennett boys stand up for him. He has close relationships with his mom and Gordo, but Joe’s parents and uncle and elder brothers really interact with him strongly.
The Bennetts are absolutely gone for Ox, in a way that’s strange to him. It all seems very sweet, especially when Joe gifts Ox with a small stone wolf on the next day-a belated birthday gift. The Bennetts have moved into the abandoned house and he wants Ox to meet his family, so he drags Ox to their house. On his 16 th birthday, Ox meets Joe Bennett, who he believes to be a precocious kid, but 10-year-old Joe hadn’t spoken in over a year before they meet. Ox and his mom share a small cottage in the woods, which shares a lane with a stately home that’s been abandoned nearly Ox’s whole life. He becomes a mechanic in their small town of Green Creek, building lasting friendships with his fellow grease monkeys, especially Gordo, the owner of the garage. He’s teased for his lack of intellect, but he’s a steadfast and loving boy who takes care of his mom, working in the place of his derelict father from the age of 14. And, while I never felt it slow, there is no getting around the length.
