About this ebook
It's summer and for 12 year old Isaiah that means no more school. That also means having nothing to eat or do all day. He doesn't want to end up another statistic; just another young black boy who gets drawn into the drug game. But with rent due and an empty belly, Isaiah might not have a choice.
