## Snapshot

William's secret society of four boys, meeting in a disused barn for wrestling, charred sausages, licorice water, and adventures that rarely go as planned.

## Who they are

The Outlaws are William, Henry, Douglas, and Ginger, bound by secrecy and a shared appetite for mischief. Their barn meetings, larder raids, and rabbitless woods give William's days their structure and his leadership its meaning. They matter because they turn his solitary schemes into a collective world, and because their witnessing of his humiliations raises the stakes of every escapade.
