Quotes
-
“Jackson offers an insightful look at the street life, loyalty, and ties of the hood. Peppered with profanity that realistically reflects the characters’ speech, this book is a bold, often humorous tale of two young people persevering against the odds, and the potential in everyone to rise above their beginnings, carve out a future, and fulfill their dreams.”
— School Library Journal
