The Contender by Robert Lipsyte
5.0

This was an easy to read/devour book. The main character, Alfred, is easy to like and to root for. The ending is real, not everyone lives happy and problems solved ending. Lately that has been my biggest thing to notice/care about in a book. Does the ending satisfy or does it fizzle?

Even more important, my junior boys devoured this book and begged for the next in the series. 'Nuf said.
