John Hornby / The Slam
Slam is a book about a 16year old boy called Sam. He
is like a normal teenage, he loves skateboarding and
is obsessed with Tony Hawk, who is a professional
skate boarder. His mum had him when she was sixteen so
she is only 32 so a very young mum and life is a bit
hard at the moment. He then meets a girl and they both
act like they don't like each other but actually both
of them fancy the other. They then get on a bit two
well and have a sexual relationship then they are too
silly and don't protect themselves and this is all Sam
can think of he can't get it out of his mind under all
the pressure he runs a way to a town by the coast and
stays in a motel and tries to make a new life and tries
to get a job it turns out it is a lot harder than Sam
thought as nobody wants to give a job to a young
sixteen year old boy. He doesn't know what he is going
to do with his life........
I would say this book is age appropriate for 14 year
old and up as there is some rude language and sexual
contact!!
