This book is fun to read. Most of the books i try to read i can never seem to stay focused to be able to finish but with this one i can barely put it down. I never know what to expect when reading this book book. Once you think everything is calming down another thing pops up. This book is very interesting!

I'm reading this book by Walter Dean Myers. It's a great book. The main character, Slam is a boy from the hood that is nice in basketball. He gets to go to a better high school than the people on his block because he's really good at ball. But its kind of hard for him to fit in with his coach and some of his team mates and do his school work. This girl he really likes on his mind 24/7. He thinks is best friend sells drugs but not for sure. His grandma is sick and she goes to the hospital. With a lot on his mind, how does he focus?
