By Jason Reynolds
Genre: YA realistic fiction
Ali is a good kid growing up in a rough street in Brooklyn. His mom works 2 jobs, his dad isn't in the picture much, his little sister is growing up too fast, and his only friends come with a host of their own problems.
Then he and his friends go to a party and end up in a physical confrontation that not only breaks bones, but could break up families and friendships as well.
It's a good book, and a quick read. The characters and likable, believable, and interesting. The pacing is quick, but the plot is not over complicated.
