Summary of The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell
The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell is a coming-of-age novel about Sam Hill, a boy born with red eyes due to ocular albinism, who is nicknamed "Devil Boy" and bullied relentlessly. The story, told in alternating timelines of his childhood and adulthood, follows his journey through adversity, the supportive friendships he forges with two outsiders, and his quest for redemption years later when past traumas resurface. The narrative highlights themes of friendship, faith, loyalty, and overcoming prejudice to lead an extraordinary life.
