Walter Dean Myers recounts his life story in this gripping and humorous memoir. As a young boy, he was known for his quick temper and physical strength, but also had a passion for reading that helped him escape the challenges of growing up in poverty-stricken Harlem during the 1940s and 1950s. Myers' journey is one of self-discovery and struggle, as he navigates the complexities of class and racial tensions. With his books serving as a source of comfort, he begins to question the values that had always guided him. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into Myers' life, revealing the strengths and weaknesses that have made him one of the most powerful voices in young people's literature today. Through his story, Myers shares his experiences with honesty and vulnerability, creating a truly unforgettable account of growing up in Harlem during a pivotal moment in American history.
