by Clyde Hall (Author)
In Clyde Hall's debut adolescent novel, "The Secret Weapon: A Dream Deferred," he thoroughly articulates how easily people attempt to impose the same limitations on others that have been placed on them (intentionally or unintentionally). There are three things in life that irrefutably transform us for the better. Freedom, knowledge, and understanding! In the 1950s, two young African American boys, Clyde and Garrett realize what it means to be free yet bound. In their quest to capture the infamous yellowjacket, the boys eventually understand why the rooster shouldn't be caged... Freedom and bondage can't dwell in the same space. Thankfully, with this understanding - the power of knowledge abounds. Clyde and Garrett's relentless pursuit of "Yellowjacket" leads them to true freedom.
