Pick-Up Game: A Full Day of Full Court

falconmedia — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:36:35 +0000

Caesar,Waco, ESPN, Nique, and Shane play basketball at the West 4th Street court known as “The Cage” in New York City. Some TV people come and they get into a debate about who gets to use the court. They play against each other to see who gets it. My favorite character is Waco because he is quiet, but interesting. I liked it when Caesar got mad at Waco and punched and slapped him in the face.

Drama High: The Fight

falconmedia — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:31:29 +0000

This book starts out with the breaking up of KJ and Jayd. There is a shooting and KJ is with another girl. She plans to fight Jayd for KJ, but Jayd is not into it. She planned to start the year off drama-free. With her legacy, though, that’s something she can’t have. I really liked this book – drama filled, just the way I like it. Jayd is an awesome role model. Book 1 of the Drama High series. [Cleo]

November Blues

falconmedia — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:29:52 +0000

A fifteen-year-old girl gets pregnant. Then her boyfriend (the baby’s daddy) dies. She goes to a football game and goes into labor. The baby is born two months early, but lives. Josh, the baby’s daddy, and his cousin were performing deeds to become part of a fraternity. They had to jump out of a window into a pit of mattresses. Josh missed the mattresses.

I was surprised that the girl went into labor two months early. I didn’t expect it at all. The readers that would like this book have to like drama – there is plenty of it! If you don’t like drama, don’t bother to read it. [Fuzzy Puppy]

Second Chance

falconmedia — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:16:02 +0000

This is about a girl named Jayd who finds her true love. His name is Jeremy and he’s white. Jayd is black. She used to date a black guy, but she broke up with him because her best friend (or so she thought) started to date him. Jayd is over him now and has a big crush on Jeremy. So far, he is charming her. They have a lot in common. They like to hang out and chill. They always pass notes to each other during class. Jayd knows what is expected from her mother, who tells the truth even if it hurts. She does her best with Jayd.

My favorite character is Jayd. She knows when the time is right. To me, she keeps it real all the way. She really takes her time when she does her hair. It probably takes her two or three hours. She always has a mother to support her no matter what, just like me. Book 2 of the Drama High series. [unicorn 123]

Drama High: Frenemies

falconmedia — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:56:48 +0000

In this part of the series, Jayd is having boyfriend and friend drama. Nellie has been acting strange ever since she got crowned Homecoming Princess. I love how they use real-life situations in this book. I can relate to them. Nellie’s been acting as if she doesn’t even know Jayd or Mickey. Then Jeremy is having an attitude that Jayd can’t handle. She is beginning to question their relationship. [Cleo R.]

Blood Is Thicker

falconmedia — Fri, 27 May 2011 10:45:04 +0000

Takell has to move because his father lost his job. He moves to his uncle’s house. Takell’s cousin keeps fighting with him. They realize that they each have special talents. They also realize that blood is thicker.

I thought it was a great book because it showed how family does matter. It kept me reading. I never wanted to stop. This book is great for kids with family problems. The tone of the story is depressing. [Grouch]

A Boy Called Twister

falconmedia — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:15:48 +0000

Kevin Walker is an orphan from Spurville, Texas. His mom died from cancer a few months before. His dad died in prison for 2nd degree murder. So, Kevin went to a school in California. He gets bullied again. The only way for Kevin to feel calm was to run like a twister.

I thought it was a great book! It was a story of someone surviving hardships in school, at home, and in his personal life. Anyone can read this book. [Guesswho]
