A talented basketball player who had a sad story as a kid.
Have you ever read a book that made your glasses fall off? Probably not, but Fast Break is the one book that made me do that. A kid named Jayson Barnes had once lived in a nice apartment with his mom, Debbie, in East Morehead, North Carolina. They had a basketball court too, which was great for Jayson because he was a basketball player. Jayson’s mom became sick and could no longer work, but that meant she could no longer pay rent. Sadly, a week later, Jayson’s mom died. This had changed everything for Jayson.
I really loved this book because I thought it was so action-packed that I just couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next. One of my favorite parts from this book was when Jayson was trying to find ways to survive on his own without any parents. He really didn’t make good choices when he was on his own, though.
If you ever read this book, what do you think?
This is 5 Stars and by far the greatest book I have ever read.
