First sentence: A CHEWED-UP NERF flies out of nowhere and smacks me in the head when me and Steven are about ten yards past the super.
Description: "Life isn't easy for Peter Kim. The super and other thugs in his neighborhood are out to get him. His best friend suddenly hates his guts. And he's stuck wasting his summer babysitting his wierdo little brother. But things hit absolute rock bottom when his family's apartment gets burglarized and he loses his most prized possession. Undaunted, Peter tries to forget and move on. But his misfit friends, all members of the Warriors, just won't let him. Spurred on by their teasing and the desire to shut them up, he sets out to find out who ripped him off. What follows is an investigation like no other."--BOOK JACKET.
