Darius & Twig by Walter Dean Myers
4.0
How we will miss Walter Dean Myers.
I listened to this realistic contemporary fiction novel about two boys trying to find their best selves while growing up in Harlem. You can't help but fall in love with Darius, an aspiring writer who sometimes imagines himself as a bird of prey when the stress in his life gets too great, and Twig, an incredible runner who's caught between chances at scholarships and an uncle who wants him to go into the family business. Because it's Myers, the voice is spot-on.
For teens and even middle schoolers who can handle swearing.
