(2) 4-6 In 1925, teenager Mark is hoping to blow his sax with Fats Waller. He needs to earn money and gets a job at The Crisis, flagship magazine for Harlem's literary coterie. The book's plot is hectic, but it's saved by its heart and humor. Appended is a photo gallery with brief biographies of the historical figures used (with abandon) in the book.
