Author of The Underground and The Nickel Boys.
Harlem Shuffle is an entertaining novel of heists, shakedowns and rip-offs in Harlem during the 1960s. To his customers and neighbours, he is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture … to others he is known as a decendent of uptown hoods and crooks.
Harlem Shuffle is a family saga that is masquerading as a crime novel, but at the same time a hilarious play and a social novel about race and power in the 1960s.
Please join us virtually on Tuesday, January 25th at 7:00 pm. We ask that you let us know your intent to join so that we can plan for numbers and share the Zoom link. Our Senior School Librarian, Melissa Rutledge, will be moderating the book review.
Happy holiday reading!

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
