Slam by Walter Dean Myers

Slam by Walter Dean Myers about a boy named Greg Harris who is a very good basketball player. He is a very good point guard and a slam dunker. His main problem he had that his coach and friends didn't give him the respect he deserved. He also had trouble in school because his teacher got mad at him for his grades. Greg's best friend named Ice is slowly moving away from him in his life. Greg thinks that Ice is selling and using drugs is the problem. I am 3/4 done with the book and I am enjoying it a lot. The plot and the characters are very interesting. I like this book because it is easy to understand and is in my reading level. This book is very good and I recommend this book to everyone!
