Slam

Walter Dean Myers wrote Slam! It won a Coretta Scott King Award, American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults, and a New York Pubic Library Book for the Teenager. This book should be pretty interesting because I like sports books and the title really pulls me in to read the book. What does slam mean? Why is the kid looking through looking through the fence. The back of the book talks about a 17 year old boy named Greg Slam Harris the was the best basketball player. It talks about how he wants to make it to the top but things will get n his way like his grades. Then he has to face his life without the ball in hand.
