| If nobody wants him, that s fine.He ll just take care of himself.When his father dies, Dave knows nothing will ever be thesame. And then it happens. Dave lands in an orphanage -- the cold and strict Hebrew Home for Boys in Harlem -- far from the life he knew on the Lower East Side. But he s not so worried. He knows he ll be okay. He always is. If it doesn t work out, he ll just leave, find a better place to stay. But it s not that simple.Outside the gates of the orphanage, the nighttime streets of Harlem buzz with jazz musicians and swindlers; exclusive parties and mystifying strangers. Inside, another world unfolds, thick with rare friendships and bitter enemies. Perhaps somewhere, among it all, Dave can find a place that feels like home. 01-02 Young Hoosier Book Award Masterlist (Gr 6-8), 02 Rebecca Caudill Young Reader s Book Award Nominee Master List and 00-01 Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children s Bk Award Masterlist 2000 Notable Children s Books (ALA) and 2000 Best Books for Young Adults (ALA) |
