I'll Do the Right Thing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780817016586)

This fourth and final volume of Joe Joe in the City series finds Joe Joe facing gang trouble at school. He has to make a difficult decision about whether to join Tyrone and his crew, the Defenders, or to follow the example of Ralph Bunche, the first African American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and the highest-ranking African American on staff at the United Nations. With the help of his grandmother, Joe Joe discovers the significance of Jesus' teaching "Blessed are the peacemakers"--individuals who stand apart from the crowd and help other folks work out their problems.
