When I Was The Greatest by Jason Reynolds



I really liked this book because you get to know the young teens and have an understanding of where they live.  Ali is a great kid and so is his sister and his mom.  He becomes friends with two teens who move into the neighborhood and they have their set of challenges.  This is a coming of age story of living in a community in a city where your area.  It's fine for high school library.  Ali is faced with choices and leans about the consequences of his choices.
