Scorpions is a really good book from what I’ve read so far. I’m enjoying the book, this book is actually better than what I thought. The main character being in jail and his younger brother taking over his gang while he gets out makes the story more interesting. Jamal The kid that’s 12 years old is trying to get his older brother out of prison. His mother is working as hard as she can to collect the money to bail him (Randy) out of jail.
Jamal is having a bad time in school with another kid named Dwayne. He’s describer as a big and chubby guy. But Jamal is not scared of him nor anyone.
Mack Randy’s best friend tells Jamal that Randy had told him that he wanted Jamal to take over the Scorpions. Jamal doesn’t want to join the gang but he just wants his brother to get out of jail so his mother can live in peace. Jamal’s mother is just to worried about Randy being in jail.
