(4) YA Youth advocate and army veteran Moore recounts the childhood character-building lessons that paved his way to success as an adult. The selected anecdotes call much-needed attention to the insidious ways small, immature mistakes made by underprivileged children can have dire consequences. Storytelling is strong throughout, but Moore's distinctly adult voice and perspective gives this otherwise engaging memoir a didactic feel.
