There Are No Children Here by Alex Kotlowitz

"A World Not Seen By Many"  4 stars

"There Are No Children Here" is an extraordinary book about living in the projects of chicago.  This book is dated since this project got knocked down years ago, but it does not make the story any less relevant.  It's about two boys, Lafeyette and Pharoah, and their families living day to day just trying to survive.  You get into this story quick and stay there.  It's a good read.  I recommend it.
