Book Information

Bestselling award-winning author Walter Dean Myers is back with his acclaimed Cruisers series. Sidney Aronofsky is one of the best chess players under age sixteen. When he's arrested for trying to buy drugs, it comes as a total surprise to those who know him. The expectations of parents, schools, and tutors pressure the young players. Sidney loves and wants to play chess, but dislikes the constant spotlight. He thinks that if he appears to be involved in drugs he'll be excused from playing on the school's team. In this book, Zander and his crew are back, using the Cruiser school newspaper to express their frustrations and triumphs.
