Book Reviews of Drive-By (Harper Trophy Books)
Book Review: "I hate to read", I hear it all the time
Summary: 5 Stars
Lynne Ewing is a great author. Given her experience with the Los Angeles Department of Social Services, she knows how to write so that our students will read. First you hook them with a very short book and before you know it, they are reading because they want to. All junior high/middle schools should have this book. Then you move them on to Sharon Draper's Hazelwood High Trilogy
Summary of Drive-By (Harper Trophy Books)
"Jimmy always told me there were only two kinds of gangbangers: Those who were dead and those who were going to die. Joining a gang doesn't make sense to Jimmy..."?Jimmy is dead now -- gunned down in front of his little sister, Mina, and his brother, Tito. And Tito is left wondering: Was Jimmy in a gang after all? Ice Breaker Joe and Lamar think so. They say Jimmy was skimming their drug money. And if the missing cash isn't returned, Tito may have to pay -- with his life.Some people go to the crossroads, but Tito's crossroads laid themselves down in front of him. His brother Jimmy sprawls on the sidewalk at his feet. Shot in a drive by. Now a gang claims that Jimmy was their Ace Man. They say Tito must take his place and resolve some unfinished business. They give him a gun. "You need protection. It's not safe on the street." What path will be choose at the crossroads? He knows one leads to safety and one to death . . . but which is which?
