Dirty Jersey

By Phillip Thomas Duck

From zero to hero

What's cool at Eric Posey's high school? A player's swagger, a baller's style, and game enough to catch every girl. Unfortunately, Eric is seriously uncool--unlike his popular sister, Kenya, who sings like an angel. But forget the choir; Kenya wants the fabulous life--bad boys and fly girls.

A chance encounter with Fiasco, one of the hottest rappers around, gives Eric entr?into the world of the Dirty Jersey crew, where he's introduced to everyone and everything. Suddenly, Eric is cool and has access to anything he's ever wanted. Never mind that Fiasco isn't exactly a good guy-- so what? But so what has a price. And Fiasco has just named it: Kenya.

Must Have Been Good

My son read this book in one day. Couldn't put it down. He said he enjoyed the urban setting and the real life teen issues that didn't get solved "adult style". Not sure what that means, but he asked for other books by this author, so that's a great sign.
