(4) YA Growing up fatherless in the Brooklyn projects, twelve-year-old best friends Justin and Sean know they have a chance for a good future if they do well in school and stay out of trouble. That's why Sean's newly confrontational behavior worries narrator Justin. The street-dialogue-heavy writing is a little clumsy, but themes of friendship, fatherhood, and peer pressure are well addressed.
