On my honour by Marion Dane Bauer

On my honour by Marion Dane Bauer. Chivers, 1989. [Also published as On my honor].

Joel dares his best friend, Tony, to swim to the sandbar in the river. Tony, who is not a strong swimmer, disappears. In his guilt and confusion Joel hides and doesn't tell anybody what has happened. The truth comes out later that night in front of police, Joel's and Tony's parents. Joel's dad is there to help Joel through his guilt, but not to absolve him.
