Product Description

Growing up on the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck, George, and Sampson could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors. It took a lot of determination—and a lot of support from one another—but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded. Retold with the help of an award-winning author, this younger adaptation of the adult hit novel The Pact is a hard-hitting, powerful, and inspirational book that will speak to young readers everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A changed life, December 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is so amazing! I am a speech-language pathologist and I read this book with one of my middle-school at risk students who was in a gang. Every week it was amazing - the chapter we read happened to be what happened to him that week. At the end of the year he got out of the gang and he wrote me a 2 page letter telling me how much the book changed his life. I would highly recommend this book. And he told me to always read that book with kids in gangs - "because it really works".
