But when he goes to a summer program at Princeton, he takes a fall. How can he tell his proud family that he won't be able to cut it in the Ivy League? Instead, he spends the rest of the summer selling candy, up against \"Top Man\" Mello, a drop-out with a police record. For the first time, Denzel is forced to take a hard look at himself -- and how much further he could fall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Williams-Garcia confronts some crucial issues that are generally ignored in YA fiction: issues of class and race, friendship and competition, identity and failure.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Teens everywhere will be able to identify and commiserate with Denzel.\" \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43382743138559,"sku":"9780141302317","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780141302317_s600x595.jpg?v=1782317717","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780141302317","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
