Summary: One of the best!
Review: Back in the early 80s, when I was having a hard time reading and nothing could keep my interest, I found this book in a used book store. Something about it caught my attention. I read it and fell in love with the characters. It helped create a love for reading that I never thought I'd have. I never forgot the title and have been meaning to get myself and my niece a copy of it for a while. I'm thrilled that I've found it and I highly recommend it to any young reader.

Summary: Fat Albert with an edge
Review: I read this book as a child in the seventies and enjoyed it at the time. Still hold up good nearly three decades later. This portrayal of ghetto life in the 70s among young people is about as accurate as it was funny. Kinda reminds you of a preteen "Cooley High" or Fat Albert with an edge, as these kids deal with realistic problems of drugs, sex, and violence. Overall, a good example of the resilience of young people without getting overly downbeat.

Summary: Fast Sam, Cool Clyde and Stuff
Review: What an awesome book. This novel takes place in New York City during the 70's. It is very entertaining. I am a teacher in an inner city school and I had my students read this. They literally would laugh aloud while reading it. Although it takes place during the 70's, there are still issues in which my students could relate. I definitely recommend this novel to middle school children, both urban and suburban. Hats off to Walter Dean Myers!
