"Myers is a master." --The New York Times Book Review

On Harlem's 145th Street, things happen that don't happen anywhere else in the world.

Get to know Big Joe, who's throwing his own funeral while he's here to enjoy it, and everyone's invited. Meet Kitty and Mack, teens with a love story more real than anything they've ever known. Follow Monkeyman, the quietest kid on the block and the last person you'd expect the Tigros gang to target. And don't miss the block party of the year--the whole neighborhood will be there.

From danger and despair to hilarity and joy, literary legend Walter Dean Myers captures every mood and every beat of life in this vibrant Harlem.

This twentieth-anniversary edition of Myers's work features brand-new content, including historical information about Harlem's rich past, an immersive map of the neighborhood's iconic landmarks, and touching tributes from authors, artists, and literary legends. Celebrating two decades in print, this edition honors Myers's enormous legacy and brings his work to a new generation of readers.

Good Material Thickness and Comfortable
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blakc
I picked up the J.VER Men’s Oxford Shirt, and it turned out to be a solid choice. The seam quality is clean and consistent, with no loose threads or uneven stitching. The material thickness is right where it should be for an oxford. It feels sturdy without being stiff. There was no strong smell out of the package, which is always a plus. After a quick wash, it was ready to wear. The stretchiness is subtle but helpful. It gives the shirt some flexibility without changing the classic look. The softness surprised me. It feels comfortable on the skin and stays that way through the day. Overall comfort is great, whether you’re wearing it for work or a casual night out. A clean, comfortable shirt that fits well and looks good.

Good quality
Size: 3X-Large, Color: White
The shirt fit great! True to size. Only issue for me, it would have been nice if it was longer to tuck in.

Great shirts! I prefer them over much, more expensive shirts!
Size: X-Large, Color: Lemon Yellow
Nice fitting shirt for the cost. Better than most that I’ve purchased for 2-3 times the cost. I prefer these to my Lacoste or Lands End long sleeved shirts! They look/wear much nicer after dry cleaning versus machine washing. I’ve bought five of them now!
