Motown and Didi written by Walter Dean Myers is an excellent novel on how to keep families together,while keeping cool inspite of all the tragic realities in life.This book is recommended for teens and young adults of ethnic background, but it contains universal themes. I recommend this book to those in search of a great story. Motown and DiDi are two black teenagers who live Harlem,New York who have big dreams for their lives. Neither realized that the streets would enable them to furfill their dreams. The unversal concepts in this book include the seperation of families due to drug use and how they will affect your family life. The other concept mentioned in this book is the search for true love. I rarely take the time to read books, but this I couldn't put this one down. It was a fast read that reminded me of a soap opera. Turning each page, I was more enthused on how the characters would react to the situation they were facing.The only problem with the book was the changing of scenes in one paragraph. Besides that I really enjoyed this book and encourage all to read.

this amazing piece of litaraure writen by Walter Dean Myers is an extrodinary view of the dicrimination involved in city life, and will be a good read for anyone who wishes to learn life skills involving city living, the perspective of discriminated African Americans or is interested in a truely facinating love story.
