Schooled


This book is about a boy who loves basketball. The author is Paul Langan. His writing style is drama, but very interesting. The message this book gives you is that you shouldn’t put anything above your education. The main character Lionel, juggles basketball and his education.

Schooled is about a teenage boy Lionel who doesn’t know if he would rather pursue in basketball or focus on high school like he promises his mother & father. While Lionel’s going thru these decisions his friend Jamar is trying to convince him to dropout. All these events happening and Lionel can barely read and write, will he pursue his dream or get caught in a nightmare?


I did like this book because it shows you how important your education is. Although the characters change from time to time I do recommend this book. Lionel is a dynamic character because at first he wants to make his mother happy. Although he begins to feed into what Jamar says Lionel makes the right decision. The good thing about this book is that it will have you wanting to know what will happen next.
