Summary: Scorpions in Harlem by Eric of Cutchogue
Review: The Scorpions is cool! The book takes place in Harlem, New York. Pimps, guns, gangs, drugs, and other stuff is involved with this part of Harlem. Jamal is twelve years old and his brother Randy is in jail. Mack, from the Scorpions, tells Jamal that Randy wants him to get him bail him out of jail. Dwayne, a bully at school, is picking on Jamal all the time, so he might do something he might regret. The ending is unexpected and you won't believe of the stuff that happens.

Summary: Very moving
Review: I remember reading this book in seventh grade (I'm now a sophomore in college). It was almost immediately one of those books that you couldn't put down. It is an extremely moving example of literature at its best - it captures ever emotion you have and it keeps you on pins and needles the entire time you're reading it. I remember finishing the book and thinking "WOW!"

This has been one of the few books that really moved me and it has definately instilled in me a desire to be a better person. It is a book that anyone at any age can appreciate. It's definately worth reading.
