SLAM

The book that i am reading is called "Slam" by Walter Dean Myers . the book is about a 16 year old high school junior who loves to play basketbal but has an atittude problem.on top of that Gregory better known as Slam might be losing his best friend to the drug world and he also has trouble getting his grades together.

Slam loves to play basketball and thats all he wants to do, play basketball. Still Slam is having difficulty because his new coach doesnt like him and he is also having problems with some of the players on his team. Slam 's life seems to be going through a rough treck because things just5 dont seem to be going his way.

This book is interesting and although i havent finished reading it I think a possible theme might be that things dont always go your way and getting angry wont help but instead you have to try to deal with your problems directly.

I read the book "Shattering Glass" by Gail Giles. In the book the entire story is being narrated by the perspective of a guy who commited a murder. The book is about a group of teens who try to change the life of the school geek by turning him popular. Through out the story the narrator does not let you know whats about to happen. The author leaves you wondering through out the book in suspensful twist and turns till the climax. The ending is surprising and interesting.
