High school freshman Robinson “Robin” Paige lives with his grandmother, Miz Paige, on the meanest street in the city. Miz Paige is his rock. Sly and Kaykay have been his buddies since forever. Smart, stoic, and loyal, Robin’s life has been defined by loss. And he doesn’t want another tragedy, so he lives afraid to stand or speak out. But then he gets pushed to the edge. Somehow, someway, he will get back at the Ninth Street Rangers…Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor takes on a whole new meaning–If Robin hadn’t just paid off the Ninth Street Rangers, or if Tyrone and Dodo hadn’t hit on him to do their schoolwork, he never would have done what he was about to do.
