Slam+reviewed+by+Brandon



I just read a very good book called __Slam!__ wrote by Walter Dean Myers. I don't really read his books but but this book caught my eye.It was about a sixteen year old boy nicknamed "Slam". He is called Slam because in his neighborhood he never lost in basketball and would always do a monster dunk. Slam just joined a new school in uptown New York so everyday he rides the subway under the over populated city. As he tries to adjust to his new school he tries to join the basketball team. The coach saw him and just ignored him. He didn't even care he was there. Slam was the best player there, then the other coach came to Slam and said to "not give up and keep trying. Your really good." Well after the first game Slam was failing some of his classes so his teacher gets him a tutor to help him. Then his teacher assigned a projected to make a video about Urban environment. So he had to flim his neighborhood and showed his whole class. When he showed his video to the class, the class was surprise that he lived in want most people would call the "Hood" or " Ghetto". In his video he showed a robbery of a guy taking money from a liquir store.Overall it was a very good book and I would like for you to read this book.
