I, Dwayne Kleber

More about the book

Dwayne Kleber has to find a part-time job as a paperboy when his pregnant mother must stop work. Since one paper route will not produce enough income to match his own father's demands, Dwayne chooses to add a second route known as "Suicide Seventeen" by the other paperboys at the branch. It therefore comes as no surprise when he is attacked and robbed late one afternoon collecting on his bicycle. This is a surprising tale of teen survival in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.
