The book i am reading is called Slam!. the book is about a boy name Greg Harris or "slam". something i like about the main character is that i can relate to his situation in the story. he is a high school basketball player and he was called to the office because his grades weren't good enough to play sports. i can relate to this because during my freshman year i missed out on the second half of basketball season because i was ineligible to play. one thing i like about the author ( Walter Dean Myers ) is that he leaves a suspenseful ending on some situations, fir example slam's friend ice is potentially a drug dealer and its a big deal to slam but you wont figure out if its true until later in the story this makes you wonder and it gives u a reason to keep reading the book
