A Black young adult gets tossed into a whole new White School

 

The book, Black Boy; White School by Brian F. Walker would get 4 paws from me. Teenager Anthony “Ant” Jones is getting a scholarship to Belton Academy in Maine. The thing is though, he never has left his hometown of East Cleveland. People though think Anthony is a basketball all star that prefer`s to be called “Tony: and that he is from Brooklyn. Everything changes though when Jones fights back realizing that this is nothing like home. If you want to know more, then read the book because it`s pretty good.

“Book for a mature audience that love suspense” Scholastic.

This book is very well put together and cannot be compared in my opinion. It`s so good and in the middle of the book you want to keep reading because the climax is so interesting and mind blowing. Only a mature audience can handle this novel with explicit language and graphics (what the author wants you to imagine) to understand this book.

“ANTHONY JONES, AN INKY KNOT OF A fourteen-year-old, stomped down the elevated railroad tracks, hammering his thigh with a clenched fist.” (Walker 1).

As Anthony had to experience a new change that was not easy to adapt to, he made something out of it instead of letting it have at him. Do something with your life that you would never do. It will benefit you in many ways depending on your actions.

I give Black Boy White School 4 paws- Pounce on it!!!
