| About
this Book Reading Level: Young Adult Fourteen-year-old Hammond Dewayne Jeter -- called "Ham Bone" by his friends -- isn't into sports like everyone else in his school. Football and cheerleading just aren't his thing, even though his best friend, super-athlete Elijah Lee Davis, dreams of life in the sports lane. What Ham Bone wants to do is be a writer. And living through the first real wave of integration in Arkansas's public schools in the 1970s, he's got plenty to write about. Told through private entries from Hammond's secret journal, Diaries of a Light-Skinned Colored Boy is at once a poignant, funny, and unforgettable portrait of growing up black and male during one of the most controversial times in America's history. This is the first book in a trilogy by bestselling author E. Lynn Harris, and his first novel for young adults. |
