Another phone post so it will be short and sweet.
This is one of the main books for my new reading strategies class next year. It's a little different because it is written in a screenplay form with journal entries interspersed throughout. It is about a boy from Harlem who is on trial for being an accomplice to a robbery/murder. He is writing the screenplay throughout the trial.
I could see how the book would be interesting and compelling to reluctant readers. However, I read screenplays too quickly and am not getting all I could out of it. But at least I'll be familiar with it for next year's class.
