If I Grow Up by Todd StrasserGateway Nominee 240 pages
Very good book about growing up impoverished and hungry among those who have chosen to take the gang life. DeShawn's character is a very realistic one...he doesn't aspire to be a gang member so that he can have the money, the ride, the car, but he also doesn't think he will make it big one day. The writing is excellent for a Young Adult audience, and I could easily recommend this to any age.
