Moonwalking 
By Zetta Elliott and Lyn Miller-Lachmann


Punk rock-loving JJ Pankowski can't seem to fit in at his new school in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as one of the only white kids. Pie Velez, a math and history geek by day and graffiti artist by night is eager to follow in his idol, Jean-Michel Basquiat's, footsteps. The boys stumble into an unlikely friendship, swapping notes on their love of music and art, which sees them through a difficult semester at school and at home. But a run-in with the cops threatens to unravel it all. This novel in verse, is alternately narrated by two boys in 1980s Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Congratulations Anne L., you are our Win it Wednesday winner!
