Walter Dean Myer's Slam!: A Review by Ahmed!

Slam! by Walter Dean Myers is a sports adventure and a little bit of romance. The main character Slam is faced with the challenge of playing his old school in the basketball championship, facing his half brother Ice. But if Slam doesn't get good grades he can’t play basketball. He is currently failing five of his classes in school, so he might not be able to play. At the same time, Slam has a girlfriend called Mistha and they go out and they also have problems. I like this book because it has action, romance and adventure. Also, you want to know whats going to happen next. You should read this book if you like basketball and action.
