Excellent read. Kool-Aid(Danny) and AJ was best friends that lived on the same block. Kool-Aid was a product of a single parent household and A.J was a product of a two parent household. Kool-Aid dreamed of going to the NBA in the future. Kool-Aid uses his skills to play ball with the guys at the playground. Once seeing how good Kool-Aid and A.J. are at basketball the drug peddlers recruit A.J. to join their team or there would be consequences. Kool-Aid decides to join the other team since A.J. is playing. I truly enjoyed this book. Awesome job…
