Book Reviews of We Beat the Street: How a Friendship Pact Led to Success

Book Review: Avid reader
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book for several teenage boys in hopes that it would be of some assistance. They loved it! They all spent their entire weekend reading it and with no pressure from me. Surprisingly, instead of playing Nintendo/Playstation, they wanted to read about these three boys who made a pact to become doctors. I am awed by it's effect and I look forward to sending more copies to other teenage boys. This is definitely a winner!!

Summary of We Beat the Street: How a Friendship Pact Led to Success

Growing up on the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck, George, and Sampson could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors. It took a lot of determination-and a lot of support from one another-but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded. Retold with the help of an award-winning author, this younger adaptation of the adult hit novel The Pact is a hard-hitting, powerful, and inspirational book that will speak to young readers everywhere.
