Thomas Titans: Men Among Boys
When Ayush, an Indian-Chinese street kid, gets accepted into Singapore's most prestigious boys' school, he thinks he can start life afresh. No one will know of his shady past, not when his newfound friend is but a fat, bumbling and innocent boy by the name of Lasso.
Lasso's just like him, another basketball maniac. But he has something Ayush doesn't - a father. He also has the beautiful Ariel, a 'mermaid' acting in a school play.
When Ayush's dangerous past comes hurtling back to torment him, he unwittingly gets his friends involved with a gang. Can he find a way to free himself from their clutches? And will he let his jealousy get in the way of saving Lasso and Ariel?
Thomas Titans: Men Among Boys is a moving coming-of-age tale with an unusual cast of characters.

A nice stroy that captures the low class people of Singapore and a boy who just wants to play basketball but this book has a bit of a slow start but gets much better through out the book.
