Ll the attention he can handle from the honeys and the big time college football programs Deciding where to take a scholarship should be Romeo's biggest problem but these days it's the last thing on his mind Not only is Kwame finally getting out of jail their absentee mother Pearl is back on the scene and Rome's girl Ngiai says she's ready to get serious Oh and a couple I purchased this novel for my classroom library after seeing multiple recommendations while poring through lists for male YA readers I am often looking for realistic fiction that instills hope and inspires positive behaviors that lead to numerous opportunities I was leery of this book because I have read numerous books with similar plots in which many characters curse drink do drugs or encourage dangerous behaviors I'm glad I took a chance on this book Over the years I've heard many of my students express concern for being stuck in a life with a limited future This book may provide them with the hope and inspiration needed to pursue college I can't wait to share this with my students On the downside and the reasons I didn't give this novel 5 stars I'm afraid the novel may be too clean and not gritty enough Romeo's friend Amir is scolded numerous times for cussing but the worst he says is damn and hell While I like that they don't curse any worse than that I'm afraid some of my boys might scoff at these words being called curses Also I do wonder if the happy ending is unrealistic It too perfectly wrapped up the story with a nice little bow for the protagonists I look forward to sharing this book with my students and I'll update my review when I hear back from them
