Los Angeles
Paul is the top high school basketball player coming out of Los Angeles. He has the pick of any college that he wants. So what's eating at him? Well, life is hard growing up in Watts. Plus, Paul lost his parents and sister at a young age. The only person he has left is his grandmother, who raised him. Will the pressure of leading his team through his senior season, along with choosing a college, be enough to break Paul? Los Angeles is a book from Hoop City, an EPIC Press six set series. Some titles may contain explicit content and/or language.

Hoop City - Youth Services Book Review
. . . an excellent choice for reluctant readers, those reading below grade level and ESL students. Strong, likeable characters, realistic situations, very well done. Recommend to high school students interested in sports, especially boys and those ready to graduate.
