Biography
Hardcover. Melvin Juette has said that becoming paralyzed in a gang-related shooting was 'both the worst and best thing that happened' to him. The incident, he believes, surely spared the then sixteen-year-old African American from prison and/or an early death. It transformed him in other ways, too. This title re-constructs the defining moments of his life. Num Pages: 192 pages, black & white illustrations, frontispiece. BIC Classification: BGSA; JFFG; WSJM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 5346 x 3564 x 458. Weight in Grams: 327.
