How was it?

This book taught me why you should do good in school and all the choices you will have to make in life. It tells that in order to get where you want to get in life; one would have to do whatever it takes. And people should always go for what they wish in life and not be afraid to take risks.

The was a really good book! Martin has been at a new school for 2 weeks. He has already gotten into fights and is trying to convince the superintendant of Bluford High School that he should not be expelled. He is also having problems at home. Martin's mother moves him to the new school after his younger brother was shot and killed. Martin is sneaking behind his mothers back to hang out with Frankie and the other "home boys" from his old neighborhood. Martin finds out that the bullet that killed his brother was really meant for Frankie. When Frankie realizes Martin knows the truth, he betrays his old friend and plots with two other boys to kill him. Martin convinces the two boys that Frankie is not the kind of boy they should hang around and the three of them stop Frankie in his tracks. This book taught me alot. I learned the value of friends and also if someone knows something that could help the police solve a crime they should do everything they can to help.
