This month's book is entitled "Places to Be", a young adult book from award-winning author Alvin L.A. HornMarley Barton Tingle has graduated from middle school and is on his way to his first year in high school, and he believes he will be a basketball star. He's a great kid, terrific on the court, and good in school. Marley has it all going for him with supportive parents, a crew of good friends, and although she is not his girlfriend yet, Alana Kona-Sparks is his best friend. However, the young man turned left when he should have gone right. He put himself in a bind when he went into the Dollar Station Store with his crew on the last day of school. Marley paid for his candy, but his friends chose to shoplift instead. He wasn't sure what they had done, but he ignored the feeling inside of him that something wasn't right.
It came to light that Marley's parents had told him to go straight home, but he did not, and Alana had asked him not to go with his friends that day after school. A few days later, the police delivered a letter to his home from the store stating Marley was trespassed from ever going into the store again. The same day, Marley's mom downloaded his grades, showing that he had almost failed his history class. Marley loves all his classes, but he sees no benefit in studying the past. |
