Babylon Boyz by Jess Mowry (1997) is a unique and refreshing book that is real in terms of both its dialogue and the harsh and unforgiving setting of a modern-day Babylon. Delving into the choices that young adults in poverty-ridden, underdeveloped inner cities must face daily, Babylon Boyz is a powerful story that grips the reader and is uncanny in its natural, flowing dialogue.
