Roland West Loner didn’t feel like it needs a sequel, but there were some unanswered questions that I will talk about under spoiler warnings. I really enjoyed watching the character growth of these two, as well as the character growth that Caitlyn had. Peter is not very nice to his little brother Toby who has autism, or to his friend Caitlyn, while Roland is a very private person who has trouble trusting others.

Roland is trying to escape his maniac brother who will do pretty much anything to go on a trip to Italy that their father planned for Roland. Roland West Loner is about two fourteen-year-old boys, Roland and Peter. It introduced me to Saint Conrad of Parzham, and I love it when books introduce me to saints I didn’t know before.
