(4) YA It's 1970 and Nicky, growing up in the Bronx, has come to see the world as "us" (the whites who live in his apartment complex) vs. "them" (hippies, Vietnam protestors, racial minorities). But when he discovers a secret about his new friend Lester, Nicky is forced to reevaluate his own prejudices. Although it can verge on preachy, this historical novel offers evocative details.
