review by Lawrence A

Already with a grandma in the hospital and a father that’s not able to support his family, Slam finds himself trying to wonder to believe whether he could trust his best friend.

Although under the poverty and living in a bad neighborhood he finds ways to cope with the new life. tries out for basketball and still stays in touch with his friends, still doesn’t know and doesn’t know how to succeed in life and etc.
