A Newbery Honor Book. "Two black eighth-grade boys in New York--one a neurotic, obese, musical prodigy, the other a homeless, tough-minded child of the streets--are the protagonists in an extraordinary story of heroism and survival and the interdependence of human beings."--ALA Notable Children's Books Committee.
The author, Virginia Hamilton
This is an urban, young adult book. If any of my books blows kids' (and adult's)minds, it's this one. At the time I wrote it in the early 70's, next to nothing was known about the thousands of homeless children in urban centers such as New York City. I didn't know for certain, but having lived in New York for a number of years, I suspected. I could pick out the homeless kids as they moved, almost invisibly through the streets. The idea came to me while I sat with my young child in Riverside Park. There were these boys on the hook from school and they hung out in the park everyday from about 10:30 AM and were still there when I left after one or two. I studied them for many days. Slowly the story came to me. The idea of planets,of course is fiction. But then, fiction is always an exaggeration of a valid source, a reality. Some people love the book, and others, don't like it much. It is my one city book. After all this time, I still love and respect all of the characters. My heroes in the book are! Doum Malach, Mr. Pool and Buddy Clark. Junior Brown, that isolated, genius child, is a world unto himself. |
