Frank's first novel traces the lives of eleven narrators over seven years. The characters, most of whom attend a high school in Brooklyn, are from various racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, and their language and dialogue sound true to life. Though their experiences unrealistically run the gamut of problem-novel topics, Frank succeeds most of all in showing how lives are shaped over years by the people kids run into, away from, and with.
