The Florida City Story

Florida City is one of the most crime-infested towns in the country-at least, it was until some of its residents decided to do something about it. But Burt Phillips and Don Ellinsworth soon found out that ridding the town of three gangs was easier said than done.Unlike most books these days, all books by Matthew Zisi are guaranteed to be enjoyable by the whole family.

Matthew Zisi is a seventeen-year old homeschooler who lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, he has always been interested in writing and had his first book, The Hall of Fame Mystery, or the Cooperstown Bank Robbery published at the age of sixteen. Matthew is also an accomplished musician, having played the piano for thirteen years. He once won a Virginia state competition on piano. His top five favorite composers (in order) are Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Richard Wagner. In addition to playing piano, he composes music and plays the viola. He is a proud member of Bethel Reformed Presbyterian Church, Fredericksburg Area Young Musicians (FAYM), and the Rappahannock Pops Orchestra. He enjoys sports, rooting for the Baltimore Orioles (MLB), the Baltimore Ravens (NFL), the Washington Capitals (NHL), and Kyle Busch (NASCAR), as well as some other teams.
