Hardback. Condition: Good. In the imagination of a young inner-city boy, streetlights look like stars, police sirens become wolves howling at the moon, and shots fired by the neighbourhood gangs are the sound of the stars, cracking in the darkness. But when his brother disappears to join one of the gangs, the boy's imaginings no longer comfort him. With the help of his mother, he persuades his neighbours to take to the streets themselves, holding hands and shining flashlights, in a demonstration for peace. Realistic language, powerful illustrations, and a thought-provoking afterword combine to create the moving story of family love and how a young boy's courage can make a difference. Christie, R. Gregory (illustrator).…
