While essentially acting as Bowditch's nurse, Charlie becomes attached to both the old man and his similarly geriatric dog Radar, just as Bowditch warms to Charlie.
Bowditch, who has broken his leg and hip after falling off a ladder. When his father does get sober, Charlie sets about performing good deeds, ultimately volunteering to help a grouchy and reclusive elderly gentleman named Mr. The desperate high schooler prays that his father stop drinking, promising that he will do something in return, should that come to pass. The lead character and narrator of Fairy Tale is teenager Charlie Reade, whose father descends into an abyss of alcoholism following the death of Charlie's mother in a car accident. Once upon a time, Stephen King wrote a fairy tale, although the prolific author takes a third of this book, or around 200 pages, to make clear that the title of his latest opus is entirely, enjoyably unironic.
