description: Even though the war had thrown a shroud over the outside world, Phineas and Gene remained untouched by it. In the summer of '42, the Devon school was a lot like Camelot, fairly bursting with adventure and promise. As much as Gene resisted it, there had been something eternal and unforgettable about that summer. And by the time he understood what life without Phineas could be-it was too late.
