Items related to Riot (New Oxford Library)
Gerald Manston and his friends Shifty and Fu lead pretty uneventful lives until the arrival of the upheaval. When the opportunity arrives for a better way of life, the poor folks of Kingston, Jamaica--including Gerald--cannot resist the lure of excitement, danger, and change.
This touching story not only discusses political issues, but also promotes family values.
