This collection features short stories about black boys on the verge of young manhood, each finding himself at some sort of crossroads where a decision of conscience or maturity must be made. Michael's school assignment is to write about someone he admires; he considers "Cool Dave" until he realizes Dave is a drug dealer. In "Young Scholar," William is an academic leader who doesn't understand why his best friend keeps cutting him down; he learns that there are times when a friend must be let go. The lessons and uplifting messages are often as subtle as a klunk on the head, but the intended audience won't quibble; they'll appreciate a book about boys like themselves. And it can never hurt to keep them aware of positive decision-making. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
