Together, the two of them travel across the country -- where Jimmy's dad will find the man who can exonerate him of the crime for which he was convicted.

This book is about a thirteen year old boy that was living in Harlem Newyork .Jimmy had a father but he was in jail for doing drugs. While his father was in jail he escape and was being looked for all over. When Jimmya(tm)s father escaped from jail he took Jimmy with him to go hide in the west coast by Arkansas and another state. Every time Jimmya(tm)s father would see a cop he would run. The cops would put a wanted sign looking for him. . So in the end of the father gets caught and Jimmy goes and move back with his mom. I recommend this book to kids or young adults that like to read books about criminals.

America's best selling book, somewhere in the darkness by Walter dean Myers has won a Newbery honor award. As soon as you start to read you will never stop.
A life of a fourteen years old boy named jimmy is holding his own little world. He lives in Harlem. He never saw his father and lives with his mom. Suddenly one day he was walking home from school, he saw a man standing in front of his house. That's when the book starts to get interesting.
I will recommend this book as one of the best book. The writing style is very persuasive. The father of jimmy is very dramatic. You will never know what he going to do next. This book has professional language and easy to read. This book is like more reality then fiction.
It is the best time to try it out. It will probably take you week and half to finish it up. It also has lot of drama. Don't waste your time go ahead and start reading today.

I absolutely recommend this book to all readers. Walter Dean Myers does a fabulous job in showing Jimmy's varied perspectives towards his father. This was a well-written, realistic fiction book that had a perfect mix of action and emotion. This book had plenty of surprises, too. One example is when the police caught Crab and Jimmy. As I was reading this book, I couldn't wait to discover the content of the following page, due to the fact that Jimmy and Crab are always looking over their shoulder for a dangerous finish. For all of those who enjoy an exciting quick-read, this book is for you.

SWITD is a moral book December 4, 2006
When I read this book I was surprised that it was so moral and that it points out some problems we have in real life. After I went to read the authors bio I noticed that most of the things he has in his books are something similar to his life and I was not surprised his favorite books are ones he can relate to. That being said if you want an action book this isn't your best pick but if you want something that will make you think then go for it.
