Game

Game is a book written by Walter Dean Myers. The genre of books Myers writes are mostly young adult novels, nonfiction and poetry. Other books that he has written are Monster, Hoops!, Fallen Angels and Scorpion. All of his books seem to be very relatable to real life situations.

The book Game is about a boy named Drew that plays basketball in high school, but when two players that aren't the same color as the rest of the team get more attention than him he feels that his spot on the team is at risk. Drew parents have always worried that he would be like all the other guys his color in Harlem, so when these players came to his team he got less minutes which made him angry and this brought drama to the story.

I liked the book because it was about basketball and he brought up a lot of topics that I could relate to. If you don't care for sports and nonfiction then I don't think this is the book for you but I do think that you should check out one of Walter Dean Myers other books. I think that you should read this book because it might relate to something you've went through and it never gets boring because there is a lot of action in this book that certain readers might like.
