(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Paul takes a summer job at a Harlem soup kitchen, run by eighty-four-year-old Elijah, who insists Paul contemplate social contract theory. Paul is also mentoring seventeen-year-old single-mom Keisha, determined to build a future for herself through basketball. Readers will be persuaded by Myers's main argument--that you can't hope to improve the system unless you engage with it.
