Bronx Masquerade by Nikki Grimes


By the cover I'm going to guess that it's about a African American teen boy who is looking to find a brighter future. Who was once raised in a bad part or town, but rises above it and succeeds and excels in high school. Then a got a different thought once i read the back of the book. Just on the back of the book it says "aiight!" I'm guessing that he thinks its impossible for an African American such as himself to make it in America and become successful. Well with his attitude it is. Him saying how he doesn't want to go to school. Well you won't become successful if you don't finish high school. We'll see how the rest of the book goes.
