About the Book
With all the spunk with which he made his dream come true in "Junebug," Mead's ten-year-old hero sets out to save his friend and understand his father. Excellent for African-American culture studies and Black History Month.Book Synopsis
It's been several busy months since Junebug and his family moved away from their old housing project. Now Junebug is ecstatic about seeing his best friend Robert again at the beach on Labor Day weekend. But Robert's with Trevor, another project pal, who happens to be a gang member with a gun. Junebug's scared of Robert joining Trevor's gang and wonders if he can stop him. At home, Junebug thinks about the father he hardly knows. He has been in prison for over six years. Maybe he's really innocent, but if not, will people think that Junebug will grow up to be like him?Review Quotes
