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?
