A very fast hi/low read about ChiChi who battles with dyslexia, struggles in school, and his father's barbs. And then something happens that calls upon his quick thinking.

The book 75 cent son is a bought a boy named chi-chi he is a gifted athlete but is a terrible student. the book is set in a urban place not named. though his life he keeps screwing up and goes though tough time. on the field he was a super start. So he went to summer school with a teacher used to be like him. They became great friends and the teacher help him though his thought time. In the end he received a scholar ship and every thing turned out OK. I give this book two because it was very predictable at the very begin what was going to happen.
