The book that I'm reading about is called schooled by an
author named paul langan. Paul langan is 47 years old he wrote more than 20
books, and over 10 of the book was in the bluford high books such as the gun,
the bully, survivor, and fallen in most of the bluford books the characters are
connected in some way.
Lionel is a freshman in highschool he was 15 years old he
loves to play basketball he hopes to play in the nba one day. but there
is a big problem he doesn't like school and he doesn't know how to read he plays for his highschool
“he’s very good but the teachers are trying to hold him back because of his bad
grades” his dad tells him it’s not worth his time and wants him to only
finish school. His friends want him to stay with him and drop out of school.
I like the book because it's similar to a lot of teens,
including me, we all have a dream that seems good but we would need to go
to school to do are dream jobs a lot of us think about dropping but won’t
because we want to make are family happy and work are dream jobs. I think it's
about teen because that's the things that go through are minds. More people
should read this book because it tells you what to prepare for when you drop
out it's not a good life on anybody.
