Fights in the Streets, Tears in the Sand

If you enjoyed reading A Hero Grows in Brooklyn, you’ll love its sequel, Fights in the Streets, Tears in the Sand. There Steve Marino and the rest of the gang face exciting new adventures upon beginning Lincoln High.

As the story opens, we meet the rock ‘n’ roll guitar player, Jeff Star, who has one major problem — every time he tries to get the kids to respect him, he ends up making more and more enemies. Will joining a local violent gang save him? How about the wisdom of Steve Marino, a guy who became a hero back in junior high? Or will it be the beautiful and strange Mysterious Jane?

Join us as Jeff struggles with being blamed for a grisly murder, Steve’s little brother tumbles into madness, and Mysterious Jane searches for meaning beyond the superficial. Hold on to dear life on this roller coaster ride of twisting rises and terrifying falls while discovering secrets of respect that enlighten us all.
