Summary
Alvin is a about a third grader that lives in Washington, D.C. Christmas just happened, but he didn't get the thing he really wanted, a mountain bike. Instead his friend Shastri got one and Alvin is a bit unhappy about this because Shastri wanted one because he wanted one. When school starts his teacher tells them that they are going to be doing a project about black people for black history month. Alvin wanted Matthew Henson, a black american that explored the North pole. There is a prize for winning the contest of the best project and he really want to win. Right at the beginning he finds out a bunch of stuff on Henson and impresses his classmates. He goes to see his grave with a few friends that are really not his friends, and a few days later a drug dealer approaches him because he was recommended by these "friends" to be a drug runner.
