| Reeve,
McLain, Jr., better known as Junebug, is not looking forward to his birthday.
In just a few weeks, Junebug will turn ten. He's decided he doesn't want
to turn ten so he'll just ignore his birthday this year. You see, Junebug
lives in the Projects in New Haven, Connecticut. Turning ten in the Projects
means it's time to join a gang. Junebug doesn't want to be in a gang and
carry a gun like Trevor. He is happy collecting his bottles and dreaming
of sailing off to the West Indies, wherever they may be. Follow Junebug's
adventures as he prepares to launch his flotilla that he hopes will change
his life. |
