A young adult novel about anti-hero Malik Kaplan. The bad boy of Farrington High School has his own cross to bear, or maybe it's a Star of David; being the black teenaged son of a Catholic mother and Jewish father can make life confusing. He has to deal with an "offer he can't refuse" from a gang leader, handle parents who never understand him, and learn how to get close to an angry ten-year-old who hates the world. All this while discovering there's more to life than just crushing all opposition. Especially when the opposition is a fourteen-year-old who has developed an awesome left hook - his worst enemy's younger sister. Malik has some growing up to do, as he learns he may not be a god, but he's not the devil either.
