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?
