In Walter Dean Myers' The Cruisers, four gifted but underachieving students—Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbi—start a newspaper to voice their opinions and stay out of trouble at their Harlem school. When the school's Civil War project divides students into "Union" and "Confederate" factions, the Cruisers are tasked with negotiating peace between the two sides, a mission that forces them to confront the power of words, the meaning of democracy, and complex issues like racism and free speech.
