(2) YA Thirteen-year-old Lionel Perez and his friend Anisa Torres stumble across a newborn baby. Despite his mother's efforts to tie up his time with piano lessons, Lionel gets mixed up with a drug dealer in the hopes of earning enough money to take care of the baby himself. Vigilante's finely tuned depiction of Lionel's Red Hook, Brooklyn, neighborhood is believable and engaging.
