In this book set in a private boy's school on the east coast before world war two, John Knowles writes about the friendship between a boy named Gene and another boy named Phineas. As you can guess by the book cover, one of them falls out of a high tree. I won't tell you which one fell. The friendship between athletic, casual Phineas and studious, introverted Gene is compelling. I read the book with thorough interest until the very end. If you want to read a good, short book I would recommend reading A Separate Peace.
