Surrounded by egotistical peers, older street players, ruthless cops and unknowing parents, Jamal does what not many would do in his position...he writes. His almost daily entries are honest narratives filled with serious crisis, fun situations, deadly decisions and family love that empower this coming of age title. An enjoyable read for all who have been that naive teen or happens to be raising one.
