Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Francis (soon to be nicknamed Stuff) doesn't know anyone when he first moves to 116th Street in Harlem. But all that changes when he meets Fast Sam, Cool Clyde, and Gloria. Stuff and the gang grow close that eventful year, and nothing is ever quite the same. It's the year modern science gets them all in jail, Stuff falls in love and is unfaithful, and Cool Clyde and Fast Sam win the dance contestalmost. In this lively and funny book, Walter Dean Myers brings to life with tenderness and good humor a group of kids who together grow to know the meaning of friendship.

Review:

Alternately funny [and] sad, but always very natural and appealing. (School Library Journal)

Synopsis:

Within days of moving to 116th Street in New York, Stuff meets Fast Sam, Cool Clyde, and Gloria. The group grows close that year, and shares a series of memorableQand often hilariousQadventures.
