Books with author - Jerrold

Lee Emerson, eighth-grader, is really in trouble. Now it is more than those C's on his report card. Now he must decide: Will he go along with the plan to wreck the high-school canteen? If he doesn't -- the gang will call him yellow, a quitter. If he does -- why, there might even be trouble with the police. Most important of all, Lee knows that the whole plan is wrong. How will he find the courage to do what he knows is right -- before it's too late?

Although this book was written in 1957, it holds up well and many adolescents will be able to see themselves and their own after school situations mirrored in the novel. The novel discusss the problems a 13 year old boy faces when his mother goes back to work and he is left to his own devices during the afternoon when school is finished. Lee, the main character, falls in with a rough crowd and soon begins skipping school, dressing like a punk and engaging in dangerous activities (e.g. hitch-hiking, vandalism and being dishonest). The book is especially good for young adolescent boys who may also be latchkey kids who are tempted to fall in with the wrong crowd.
