what's the age limit? I got my sister this book from debbie allen about a young sista growing up to be a ballerina. But my best friend got her the same book. (I guess that's why we boys).
I don't remember the author, but the book is called "A Manchild in the Promised Land". One of my favorite books of all time. It's kinda famous, about a kid growing up in harlem. I don't have it, but it's a must-have.
