(2) YA Victor Reyes shows a talent for art, which one of his teachers encourages, but when he fails to get accepted into art school near his girlfriend's intended college, Victor starts to slide into a gangbanging, drug-dealing lifestyle. Told in chunks spanning four years, this is a bildungsroman with a voice reminiscent of Walter Dean Myers, gritty with a sense of humor.
