Jimmy's younger brother Tito knows Jimmy hated gangs—how could he have been involved with these criminals? Now the gangbangers are looking for Tito. He needs to find their missing money soon, or his family may be hurt. Dodging taggers, hustlers and dealers along the way, Tito comes up with a plan that may save his family and put the gangbangers away forever. Drive-By is an ALA Recommended Book for reluctant young readers. With a street-wise narration by Robert Ramirez, this novel will thoroughly engage listeners, young and old alike.
