So he ends up telling his parents about all of it.So now he has to make a decision to tell the police or not. While Winston and L.C, the drug lord,are after him.

Opinion: 

In the book it makes you feel like you are right there through the whole book. The characters of this book seem very real people. Lawerence the main character is just like any other teenager,but is put into a tough situation. This book is written as a play so there is no feeling of a narrator. At the end of the book you actually know what happend to must of the characters. I believe the author showws about how drugs can ruin a persons life in many ways. The book had a good climax and falling action which is very exciting. After finishing this book I learned about how school is important and how terrible drugs are. I would recommend this book to my friends because it is entertaning and after I finished the book I think I will never forget.
