The Cruisers


by Walter Dean Myers
Lexile: 810
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbie are students at DaVinci Academy, a school for Gifted and Talented students in Harlem. The four of them launch an alternative newspaper, called The Cruiser, to serve as a way to communicate with others about what's happening in their school. During their study of the Civil War, things get heated, and they learn that words have a lot of power.
