Synopsis
After reluctantly taking on the leadership of the Harlem gang, the Scorpions, Jamal finds that his enemies treat him with respect when he acquires a gun--until a tragedy occurs., Jamal is afraid of the gang that rules his neighborhood, especially since it landed his older brother Randy in jail. But Randy wants the 12-year-old Jamal to take his place as the leader of the Scorpions. Even though his mother, sister, and best friend Tito try to talk him out of it, Jamal tries to be a stand-in for his brother. Violence soon erupts as the older gang members move in on him when Jamal tries to escape--with the gun the Scorpions gave him.
Industry Reviews
"Myers writes with candor and an eye for the strange world in which dreams and despair somehow coexist...A realistic, spare, and almost unbearably sad story."
"A dishearteningly effective tale of poverty and inverted values."
