(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Cory Thomas. Kenny Wright, an African American sixth grader in a tough DC public school, takes a lot of flack for loving chess and his grandma. But his alter ego, Stainlezz Steel, keeps the streets safe from petty burglaries, rescues cats, and battles his archnemesis. Interspersed with comic panels, this funny and enlightening book will have wide appeal.
