Teen Tuesday features Ghetto Cowboy by G. Neri. Twelve-year-old Cole is in danger of repeating seventh grade thanks to his habit of skipping school. His mom has had it, so she packs up his things and drives from Detroit to north Philadelphia to dump him with the dad he never knew. The last thing he expected was to come face-to-face with a horse. His father is a horse whisperer who owns a stable right in the middle of the city. This illustrated novel is fiction but based on a real stable in Philadelphia called The Fletcher Street Riding Club. Ghetto Cowboy was optioned for film by Idris Elba and is in production under the title, Concrete Cowboy.
