Events › Book Discussion: The El by Theodore C Van Alst Jr.

Join the Lozano Branch for a discussion of The El by Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.

"An ordinary day in August 1979 dawns hot and humid in Chicago. Teenager Teddy is living with his dad after being kicked out of his mom’s house due to his gang activity. But Teddy has thrived in the Simon City Royals, and today, he'll be helping to lead a posse of the group's younger members south across the city to Roosevelt High School to attend a gathering of gangs forming “the Nation”—a bold new attempt at joining forces across racial lines. This holds particular importance for Teddy, as his branch’s only Indigenous member."--Provided by publisher.

A limited number of copies are available at the Lozano Branch circulation desk. Registration is required.
