  • "A New York Times Bestselling Author As a boy, Walter Dean Myers was quick-tempered and physically strong, always ready for a fight. He aspired to be a writer, but growing up in a poor family in Harlem, his hope for a successful future diminished. In a memoir that is gripping, funny, and ultimately unforgettable, Walter Dean Myers travels back to his roots in the magical world of Harlem during the 1940s and 1950s. Here is the story of one of the strongest voices in young people's literature today."
