I highly recommend Slam by Nick Hornby to young readers because of the never-ending wittiness in every page. THe narration, done by a 16-year-old boy, really kept the story interesting. There was not one time where I wanted to put the book down. Read this book!

-Alicia

This witty novel by Nick Hornby takes readers through the humorous thoughts of Sam, a skater (as in skateboarding), who runs through life without looking back. Faced with decisions that will decide his already-witnessed future, Sam must choose between the two most important things in his life. WIth the right balance of humorous and serious situations, Slam will take any reader for a great ride.
