For Zander and his team, life is a high-stakes game worthwhile playing. In such a second booklet of The Cruisers series, the term "gifted and talented" assumes a complete new so this means for Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbi - several misfits who sign up for Da Vinci Academy, a school in Harlem for only the brightest kids. Their friend Sidney Aronofsky is considered among the finest chess players in the city. When Sidney is arrested for endeavoring to buy drugs, it comes as a distress to people who know him, especially the Cruisers. Sidney is in love with chess, but the pressure never allows up, and he wishes out. The kids' school newspaper, The Cruiser, and Sidney's passion for coded announcements can be the only outlets they have got for expressing themselves when confronted with tough decisions that can change them forever. With piercing perception, acclaimed author Walter Dean Myers gives middle school boys and girls a book in what really concerns - friends who've received your back when it's time to make your move.
