The book "Brother Hood" written by Janet McDonald is a very nice book to read. In my past years I been in high school I've been just like Nate who is the protagonist in the story. He is preppy, has a girlfriend, and has a school spirit. I like to be preppy because that's my personality. Everybody in the school says they like my dressing and how I carry myself. Well that is how Nate is in the story. He is the good one in the family. He lives with his parents and his brother Eli. Eli was the bad brother in the family.

They live in downtown Chicago called Harlem Heights. I was born and raised in Chicago just like Nate so this book was just for me. Mr. and Mrs. Whitely was Nate and Eli parents. They both believed in both of their sons. Eli always would come home late. Nathaniel liked school. He made good grades and he went to where everybody liked him. The Historical setting is downtown Chicago which is where I'm from.

and all the other books she has written. This story is off the hook. Nate's story had me laughing, crying and stressing. I hope she writes a follow-up book - I want to know what happens between him and Willa.

This author can WRITE! I held my breath when Nathaniel was being interviewed by the cops. I loved the ending. And I want to visit the Apollo.
