Description
Bryant Lester Thomas, better known as BLT, is having a great summer: he's playing basketball with a team that's going for the city finals, and he really likes the sister of one of his teammates.
There is one little problem, though: BLT doesn't have the fancy clothes and expensive cars that his new buddies do, and, without a job, he just can't keep up with them. He can't even afford to go out on a date. BLT has to learn some hard lessons...both on and off the court.
Based on the groundbreaking Degrassi Junior High television series, this book offers a sensitive and engaging look at the challenges of teenage life.
