Johnson lives in a very small house with his ten siblings and his single father. He hates being in his house, he rarely gets enough food, and he is neglected quite a bit. He gets into lots of fights at school, and is usually the class clown. He also has a lot of friends who invite him to parties. He does have a special friend, Wallace Breen. Johnson likes to break into Wallace's house so they can hang out. He is very kind to Wallace, if a bit annoying. He is 15, and the year is 1937.
