(3) YA Shawn spends the summer playing basketball and trying to stay out of gang territory in Compton. While considering whether to enroll in a high school outside Compton, he weighs the freedoms of a new school against the security of his old friendships. The gritty, urban setting comes alive through Smith's dialogue and descriptions of the hood.
