Book excerpt: Robeson "Crease" Battlefield gets his nickname from his iron-pressed pants. For Pacino Clapton, pants-and live- are rougher than the asphalt streets where he hangs most days. When the boys meet up in the underworld of Mr. Patt's PSS (Post School Suspension), they're quck to see that clean-and-tidy don't mix with grit. But hey-even opposites can find something in common. And for Crease and Pacino, that "something" is a kid named Tariq, the reason both of them have been forced to take the long walk down the infamous "Bermuda Hallway" to serve time in detention at Alain Locke Junior High. With piercing insight and humor, We Could Be Brothers dellivers an engaging portrayal of urban life and offers a powerful look at how the differences among three boys change them forever.
