This is a good book. It's not the best book on the list, but it is a really cool book. The interesting thing about this book is that he has lived in the city all his life and hes being exposed to culture.

4 out of 5 stars!

It is about a 16-17 year old boy , named Leroy, that is a witness to a murder. He is afraid to testify in court, because they threaten to slit his throat if he squeals on them. So Leroy must go live with his grandefather to escape from having to testify. It is really good it is even better than I thought it would be. -Ricardo S.

I know I already posted a comment on this book,but it was really weird,so I am going to comment again. The title of this book sounds super weird right? Well I thought so. I would have never ever picked this book up off a book shelf,but it was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. I guess people are right when the say"Don't judge a book by the cover" I reccomend this book to people.
