Lemme, you threw me a major flashback on this one. It's based on a book called "The Boy Who Could Make Himself Disappear" by Kin Platt. Baxter's first name is "Roger" and he can't pronounce R's. I seem to recall he memorized every R word in the dictionary.
My family befriended Kin Platt when my mother started attending writing workshops. He wrote many books for young adults but, well, he essentially didn't want to become addicted to our warmth and wrote a true "writers letter" to us explaining this. I think his books may have reflected some real trauma and even late in life he didn't want to let his guard down. This gave his writing for youth a real authenticity. I wish I'd kept up a correspondence.
Having said all that, I stumbled over a wonderful blog read about someone who did, for a time, correspond with him and it completely lines up with our experience.
Thanks for bringing back memories.
