The Clan of Raven (Ryden)

During the summer vacation just before high school Ryan gets pulled into the world of three boys, whose easy friendship and mysterious ways intrigue Ryan. They call themselves the Clan of Raven ("We thought it would sound cool." "You thought it would sound cool." and Ryan finds himself joining their company, talking nonsense and discussing the world and their rhapsodian generation ("Actually, it's rhapsodic in adjective form.") It's their summer, their own adventures and their secret hideouts; it's a summer that changes Ryan's perspectives on the meaning of friendship.
