From a three-time Newbery Honor author, a novel that was awarded
the 2001 Coretta Scott King award and the "Los Angeles Times" Book
Prize
For Lafayette and his brothers, the challenges of growing up in
New York City are compounded by the facts that they've lost their
parents and it's up to eldest brother Ty'ree to support the boys,
and middle brother Charlie has just returned home from a
correctional facility.
Lafayette loves his brothers and would do anything if they could
face the world as a team. But even though Ty'ree cares, he's just
so busy with work and responsibility. And Charlie's changed so much
that his former affection for his little brother has turned to open
hostility.
Now, as Lafayette approaches 13, he needs the guidance and
answers only his brothers can give him. The events of one dramatic
weekend force the boys to make the choice to be there for each
other--to really see each other--or to give in to the pain and
problems of every day.
