Description
 
After semi-accidentally getting entangled with a group of mobsters, a shy boy comes into his own with the support of his close-knit Jewish family 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 grandparents' struggling hotel in Atlantic City, a tourist destination on the decline. Nobody in Joey's big Jewish family takes him seriously, so when Joey's Skee-Ball skills land him an unusual job offer from a local mobster, he's thrilled to be treated like 'one of the guys,' and develops a major crush on an older girl in the process. Eventually disillusioned by the mob's 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 one's wits...and a little help from one's brothers.
