He couldn’t listen to music or talk on the phone without her jumping
all over him about what they listened to up in Maine, or how they
talked up in Maine, or how he better not go up to Maine and start
acting ghetto. Maine. Anthony’s mother didn’t even know where it
was until he’d shown it to her on a map, but that still didn’t
stop her from acting like she was born there. Anthony “Ant” Jones
has never been outside his rough East Cleveland neighborhood when
he’s given a scholarship to Belton Academy, an elite prep school in
Maine.But at Belton things are far from perfect. Everyone calls him
“Tony,” assumes he’s from Brooklyn, expects him to play
basketball, and yet acts shocked when he fights back. As Anthony tries
to adapt to a world that will never fully accept him, he’s in for a
rude awakening: Home is becoming a place where he no longer belongs.
In debut author Brian F. Walker’s hard-hitting novel about staying
true to yourself, Anthony might find a way to survive at Belton, but
what will it cost him?
