內容簡介：
Lately everybody''s messing with Jamal. His teachers, the kids
at school, even his dad. And now that Jamal''s brother Randy''s in
the slam, Crazy Mack has a crazy idea. He wants Jamal to take
control of the Scorpions and run crack.
All the gang jive--Jamal has no use for it. Unless, like some
say, it''s the only way to cop the bread for Randy''s appeal...
The story of twelve-year-old Jamal, whose life changes
drastically when he acquires a gun. Though he survives the
experience, it''s not without sacrificing his innocence and possibly
his relationship with his best friend.
