"In Bed Stuy, New York, a small misunderstanding can escalate into having a price on your head&#8212;even if you&#8217;re totally clean. This gritty, triumphant debut captures the heart and the hardship of life for an urban teen.A lot of the stuff that gives my neighborhood a bad name, I don&#8217;t really mess with. The guns and drugs and all that, not really my thing. Nah, not his thing. Ali&#8217;s got enough going on, between school and boxing and helping out at home. His best friend Noodles, though. Now there&#8217;s a dude looking for trouble&#8212;and, somehow, it&#8217;s always Ali around to pick up the pieces. But, hey, a guy&#8217;s gotta look out for his boys, right? Besides, it&#8217;s all small potatoes; it&#8217;s not like anyone&#8217;s getting hurt. And then there&#8217;s Needles. Needles is Noodles&#8217;s brother. He&#8217;s got a syndrome, and gets these ticks and blurts out the wildest, craziest things. It&#8217;s cool, though: everyone on their street knows he doesn&#8217;t mean anything by it. Yeah, it&#8217;s cool&#8230;until Ali and Noodles and Needles find themselves somewhere they never expected to be&#8230;somewhere they never should've been&#8212;where the people aren't so friendly, and even less forgiving."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
