Overview
A young teen falls in with the mob, and learns a lesson about what kind of person he wants to be
In The Prince of Steel Pier, Joey Goodman is spending the summer at his grandparentsā struggling hotel in Atlantic City, a tourist destination on the decline. Nobody in Joeyās big Jewish family takes him seriously, so when Joeyās Skee-Ball skills land him an unusual job offer from a local mobster, heās thrilled to be treated like āone of the guys,ā and develops a major crush on an older girl in the process. Eventually disillusioned by the mobās bravado, and ashamed of his own dishonesty, he recalls words of wisdom from his grandfather that finally resonate. Joey realizes where he really belongs: with his family, who drive him crazy, but where no one fights a battle alone. All it takes to get by is oneās witsā¦and a little help from oneās brothers.
