Slam is written by Walter Dean Myers. It is a book about a young black boy whose name is Greg "slam" Harris who has dreams about making it to the NBA
(National Basketball Association) whit his childhood friend Ice. After moving to a different school Slam has academic problem. Slam makes the basketball team and wins every game except one game. He lives in Harlem in a neighborhood that has a gang and drug problem.

Slam is a great book if you like sport books. Slam keeps you on the edge of your seat at the end of mostly all the chapters. Slam won the Coretta Scott King award.

I chose to read slam because it's about a child who is very good at a sport but struggles in school, in which some children can relate to. It also teaches kids not to do things like get in gangs do drugs or struggle in school

Slam is a great book if you like sport books. Slam keeps you on the edge of your seat at the end of chapters. Slam won the Coretta Scott King award also.

I chose to read Slam because it's about a kid whos very good at a sport but not so good in school in which some kids can relate. It also teaches kids to not do stupid things or get in trouble with drugs,gangs,and academics.

Slam is a great book for boys in there teens. Ecspeaclly for boys who love basketball. Slam is about a boy who loves basketball but his grades aren't good so he can not play on the school team.That is what happend to me this year at my school my grades were not good enough so my grandmother said i could not try out for the team.He is the best basketball player you will ever hear about even though he is not real or anything.While his mom is at home trying to keep things steady there he is trying to get on the right track.Later on in the book he learns that his best friend ice is sellin drugs.
