145th Street: Short Stories by Walter Dean Myers

5.0

Loved this, and am eager to read more of Walter Dean Meyers’s work! Really wish I read this collection as a young adult. Each story was brief but packed with a variety of humor, plot intrigue, and in many cases, heavy themes depicting the daily struggles that black people face in Harlem, yet wrapped up with such a hopeful tone. I enjoyed that while each story was unique, they all flowed together to create a holistic view of the vibrancy that is Harlem!
