by Walter Dean Myers

Checkmate
by Walter Dean Myers

A talented young chess player’s arrest for trying to buy drugs shocks his classmates. Zander and the Cruisers investigate the pressures behind his behaviour, using their school newspaper to explore expectations, friendship, and the consequences of a desperate decision.
A Star Is Born
by Walter Dean Myers
2012
LaShonda’s costume designs earn praise and an opportunity beyond her Harlem school. Accepting it could mean leaving her autistic brother behind, forcing her to weigh creative ambition against loyalty while wondering whether her fellow Cruisers will support her.
Oh, Snap!
by Walter Dean Myers
2013
The Cruisers’ school newspaper attracts attention from students in England, but an exchange of articles and photographs brings new trouble. Their reporting raises questions about free expression and how images can distort a story when separated from its context.
