Product Description:
Life in Harlem isn't easy, but Tippy and his grandmother are doing okay. Then Grandma Carrie gets sick, and Tippy goes to live with Lonnie, his father. Lonnie's got his own thing going on, and he doesn't have much room in his life for a son he barely knows -- unless, that is, Tippy is willing to walk the far side of the fine line between right and wrong. Grandma Carrie always said if he had Jesus in his heart there wasn't anything to worry about, but sometimes it's not that simple. When the chips are down, will Tippy be able to call for help -- and is there anyone out there who will listen?

(...)I read this book in my Language class. I'm writing this book review based on the review that the other kids made and they put false facts in their review.

Hi my name is Alvin Fortson and I read the book It Ain't All For Nothing.

Now he has a drinking problem and he steel money from people so he can smoke weed. I like this story because some of the things in this ... Read More

This book is about a 12 year old boy named Tippy who lives in Harlem with his grandmother. They live in a 2 bedroom apartment. One day grandma Carrie gets sick and Tippy has to go live with his father Lonnie, and they have trouble living in the ghetto. I liked this book because it was a good book for middle school kids to read. I didn't like this book because it had a lot ... Read More
