All the Right Stuff
All the Right Stuff | Walter Dean Myers
15 posts
New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers tackles the social contract from a teens perspective in his novel All the Right Stuff. In one of his most thought-provoking novels to date, Myers weaves together political philosophy, basketball, and making soup in Harlem, with the depth that defines his writing career. After his father is shot and killed, Paul Dupree finds a summer job at a Harlem soup kitchen. Elijah, the soup man, questions Paul about tough life choices, even though Paul would rather be playing basketball. Over the summer, Paul begins to understand the importance of taking control of your life. All the Right Stuff includes a Q&A between Walter Dean Myers and Ross Workman, coauthor of Kick.

Head on over to @robinb and congratulate her on achieving 20K! Then, join in her celebratory giveaway, #alltherightstuffgiveaway

My three warm-fuzzy picks are:
A Man Called Ove
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Silas Marner

Thanks for hosting!
Good luck everyone 👍🏼🎉

robinb Thanks for entering/sharing! Ove is definitely a favorite of mine as well! ❤️ And I‘ve always meant to get around to reading C.S. Lewis Narnia series...the movies were great! Silas Marner is a classic that I‘ve missed as well....thanks for the recs! 😊❤️ 7y
Jess7 A Man Called Ove is my most recommended book! I hope you win it! I loved it! 7y
CSeydel @Jess7 Yay! I loved everything about it. It was so heartbreaking yet not maudlin. The ultra-dry humor was exactly my taste. Can‘t wait to read more Backman. (edited) 7y
robinb @CSeydel totally agree about the humor! I‘ve got Beartown but haven‘t got to it yet. I really want to read all of his! 7y
