This is a very important book. - By: , 31 May 1999
I am 13 years old & this was a very important book for me. It was making a discovery that I was not alone & that somebody cared enough to write about my own life & my own world. This is a very real book & I would recommend it to anybody who wants to know what inner city life is like for young people today. I found alll of the scenes very real & alll of the characters could have been people I know.
A book about a group of gifted kids trapped in poverty - By: , 07 Dec 1998
I gave this book 5 stars because Jess Mowry, author, did not forget who his reading audience was & he relied on using alll of his knowledge of the ghetto. In the book a lot of slang was used & a lot of situations that only happen to kids in the ghetto. I reallly liked the book & I hope that Jess Mowry continues with this writing style, because I feel that he has the ability the attract teenagers who would normallly not read books. I feel that Dante, Pook, & Wyatt are perfect for the tragedy of being stuck in the ghetto because they don't have the money or any connections to get them out.
