His name is Anthony James Morrow. His friends call him A.J., but everybody else in the hood calls him "Superstar." Some say "Lil Superstar" and some just plain "Superstar" because that s exactly where he s headed to the bright lights and big stage of basketball super-stardom Or is he? It s the summer before his senior year in high school and he s got a lot of decisions to make if only he can figure out how to make the right ones. This summer is definitely going to be one that he will never forget because these are going to be his most crucial TRAINING DAYS.
The book i chose to read was "Training Days Basketball Is Life". Overall this was a very interesting book. i felt some connections between the main character in this book and myself. Some of the incidents he was going through i have someway been through the same. I liked the book because it was something i never got bored reading. I never usually read, but this book got me interested in reading more.
This book was mainly about a teenage boy that goes by the name A.J. He is in love with the game basketball as he doesn't go a day without playing it. His dream is to make it to the NBA and become famous. the story takes place in the neighborhood of A.J. while on summer break he gets his report card and receives a bad grade in one of his classes. His dad needs to show him discipline so he makes A.J. slow down on basketball and tells him to read a chapter from Proverbs every day. The whole story is meant to show a lesson that life is a struggle and nothing is handed to you.
