Fast Sam, Cool Clyde, and Stuff is a 1975 novel by Walter Dean Myers.

It is about a boy, Stuff, moving to 116th Street Harlem, making friends with the neighborhood kids and the adventures they have.

Kirkus Reviews in its review of Fast Sam wrote "Stuff can be a little long-winded in Holden Caulfield-like digressions, and his friends awfully earnest in their discussions of sex and drugs, but in general his colloquial first-person narrative projects a sense of enviable group rapport with an easy mix of nostalgia and humor.

"[2] Fast Sam has also been reviewed by Common Sense Media,[3] and the School Library Journal.

[4] The Washington Post included Fast Sam in its list of recommended books celebrating the black experience.
