Romero, a Guyanese Canadian, is a sensitive kid who is just starting to attend an inner-city-style school with a large racialized population. Romero falls in with a friendly crew but finds himself in trouble when a shot is fired in the school cafeteria -- and he gets stuck with the gun. Meanwhile, the police, often using brutal tactics and targeting young Black males, try to find out who the shooter was. To humanize and critique the Black male experience and dispel the myth that vulnerability and empathy equal weakness, Carlos Anthony draws on his own recent experiences as a teen in school in Etobicoke. His novel is an authentic - and rare -- representation of Black youth culture and the experiences of Black teens in Canada's public schools."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Public schools $z Toronto $z Toronto $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Young adults, Black $z Toronto $z Toronto $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a School violence $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Toronto (Ont.) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction. 650 7 $a Young adults, Black $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02033903. 650 7 $a Young adult fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183080. 650 7 $a School violence $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107915. 650 7 $a Public schools $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082942. 651 7 $a Ontario $z Toronto $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205798. 655 0 $a Young adult fiction. 655 7 $a Young adult works $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726790. 655 7 $a Juvenile works $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637. 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742. 655 7 $a School fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 2 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030041.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240302011503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83C6FBFAD86411EE9510A68C40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
