Hand Book For Boys - Walter Dean Myers - Audio Book

Hand Book For Boys - Walter Dean Myers: "What you need to do," Kevin said, "is publish a book called Rules for Every Thing." "If I publish a book," Duke said, "I'm going to call it Handbook for Boys." Growing up is tough...really tough.

But what if you had a handbook that told you how to figure things out? How to stay out of trouble? How to think about success? How to think about the guy on the street?

At Duke's Place, Jimmy and Kevin find out that the handbook isn't written down. It means listening to Duke and his friends talk about their lives. But how can Duke, a senior citizen, understand what it is to be young now?

This Handbook for Boys is a great book for teenagers. One of the main character Jimmy gets in trouble with the law because he is selling drugs to help his mother who cannot help him to get out of jail. And slowly Jimmy is learning about life and the problem in the everyday's people life. This book deserves a lot of credit. And as a teenager himself says: "This book its even funnier than most video games!"
