Summary: Harlem Summer
Comment: I found a paperback copy of *Harlem Summer* in a used bookstore, and purchased it on a whim (having lived on the edge of Harlem for several years, I wondered if the book would mention landmarks or spots that I knew). This turned out to be a very compelling, well-written book with excellent characterisations. My favourite character is Old Paul, Mark Two's Grandfather. But really, all the characters were well drawn, believable, and multi-faceted, even the "villains", Dippy and Duke. The novel also works in relevant historical information, concerning the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Marcus Garvey's life and times, etc. Though I found it in the "young adult" section, as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Summary: Where are you?
Comment: This was one of the first books I have ever read. I have read it time and time again from my library when I was around ten. This book is one of the greatest around and If I can find it, I would give it to my children to read it.
