MR. RICE'S SECRET
12-year-old Owen has taken his fair share of knocks in life. He loses a good friend when his mysterious neighbour, Mr. Rice, dies. Owen himself has to deal with the fact that he has cancer – something he tries hard to ignore. This recent confrontation with death is particularly hard for Owen to get over. Owen’s parents decide that it’s best if he doesn’t attend the funeral, but Owen’s friends have other plans. They dare him to go in spite of his parents wishes and so Owen sneaks into the church to film the funeral on video. That night, the boys decide to climb into Mr. Rice’s house to watch the video. Once there, they discover a letter, written in code and addressed to Owen. However, before they can get down to cracking the code, they are disturbed by a sound and decide to make off over the roof. During their escape Owen loses a ring entrusted to him by Mr. Rice shortly before his death. It isn’t until Owen recovers the mysterious piece of jewellery that he succeeds in unravelling the meaning of the letter. Suddenly, Owen finds himself in the midst of the greatest adventure of his life.
