| Welcome
to
g.neri.com. I'm
the author of the middle-grade books Ghetto
Cowboy
, Yummy
and Chess
Rumble, plus the young
adult novel Surf
Mules. I write
provocative, edgy stories for reluctant readers,
especially urban boys,
in hopes
that these kinds of books-- immediate, compelling and told through the
eyes of young males--will open minds to reading. If
you have any interest in organizing a school
or Skype visit with me,
check out my school
visits page. Schools and
libraries are eligible for up to a 40%

a lot of stuff here, so you're sure to find something of
interest. Peace,
