Jenn McGrath asked Paul Tremblay:

I just finished Disappearance at Devil's Rock. I grew up in the area (Stoughton) and I think you really nailed the setting, and also nailed the teen boy characterizations. Are the teen boys in your story modeled after your students?

Paul Tremblay Thank you, Jenn! I didn't grow up in Stoughton but I've been living here for a while.

Yes, the teen boys are an amalgam of students (especially their 'hardo' lingo) and of some of my sons friends. Tommy was sort of me as a kid, though.
