Summary
Early in the twentieth century, ten-year-old Ben and his family live in the poorest part of their city with other Jewish immigrants. There is never enough money to make ends meet, so Ben lands a delivery job. He sets out… on his boss's bicycle feeling strong and free until, on his way up Hill Street, he gets a harsh comeuppance, one that hurts his body and threatens to destroy his dreams as well. Can he hope for a second chance? Based on the experiences of the author's father. Grades K-3 and older readers. 2009.
