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?
