Darius and Twig by Walter Dean Myers
Amistad. 2013. 1st Hardcover Edition, 1st Printing. Like New in Like New dust jacket.
Darius and Twig are an unlikely pair: Darius is a writer whose only escape is his alter ego, a peregrine falcon named Fury, and Twig is a middle-distance runner striving for athletic success. But they are drawn together in the struggle to overcome the obstacles that life in Harlem throws at them.
