Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - one of the best books!!!!
i read this book in my LA class. It affected everyone. This is a book that you can really get into and it keeps you guessing. Theres something mysterious that the whole town is talking about and you don't find it out untill the end!! it teaches kids lessons and many things that they can relate to like teanage pregnency i loved reading this book! i thought that it was very realistic and if you never liked reading those books about magic and faries then this is a great book it's something different i've never read a book like it i think 99% of people would like it



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Poetry, Basketball and Drama
This is a journey of a high school's basketball team through one season a winning season. But a tragedy hits the team and the school. It is done in first person poetry. The reader hears many different voices. These voice include of players, students, teachers, their families and the media. There is a connection to the school and the team that builds through the story.
This is a fast read. The poems have a rhythm to them that moves you through basketball and the story. If a reader was ever skeptical about poetry or reading, this book would be a great asset.
