Synopsis: Winner of the 2001 Coretta Scott King award! For Lafayette and his brothers, the challenges of growing up in New York City are compounded by the facts that theyve lost their parents and its up to eldest brother Tyree 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 Tyree cares, hes just so busy with work and responsibility. And Charlies 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. Jacqueline Woodsons most recent book for Putnam was praised by School Library Journal: This fine author once again shows her gift for penning a novel that will ring true with young adults.
