When fourteen-year-old Anthony "Ant" Jones from the ghetto of East Cleveland, Ohio, gets a scholarship to a prep school in Maine, he finds that he must change his image and adapt to a world that never fully accepts him, but when he goes home he discovers that he no longer truly belongs there either.
Reviews with the most likes.
The characters and dialogue in this novel are excellent and true to life. I enjoyed the story and how the book deals with the complexities of race and class. The language, however, might make this book inappropriate for school reading.
