The only problem is he cant write. But the book - All My Colors - is there in his head. Todd makes a decision: he will 'write' this book that nobody but him can remember. After all, if nobodys heard of it, how can he get into trouble?As the dire consequences of his actions come home to both Todd and his long-suffering friends, it becomes clear that there is a high - and painful - price to pay for his crime.
