Growing up without a
male role model is extremely difficult for James. His father left when he was
young, and his brother moved out to get away from Ron, his mom's addict boyfriend.
James is left to deal with his mom and her boyfriend on his own, until his brother
offers to spend some time with him. At first, James was okay with delivering
drugs for his brother because he was getting attention, but when the police
catch him on the run, James is no longer impressed. He is sent to Morton, the worst juvie center around,
where the guards abuse, harass, and torment the boys for insufficient reasons. Who and what helps James
get through the rough time at juvie? What causes James to leave the juvenile center?
Read this powerful book and learn all about self-control, respect, and decision
making. Written from a male's point of view, this book definitely made me think in a different way. I loved how I was able to feel the insecurity and other feelings that James felt; I was able to really get into the book.
