This Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book is a wrenchingly honest collection of stories set on one block of 145th Street in Harlem. Readers get to know the oldest resident; the cop on the beat; fine Peaches and her girl, Squeezie; Monkeyman; Benny, a fighter on the way to a knockout; and other residents who jump off the page.
