I read The Beast by Walter Dean Myers.The Beast has 170 pages and it come out in 2003.
The beast is about a 17 year old named Anthony Withersppoon. Gabi is 16 years old and she is Anthony's Girl-Friend. The beast starts out with Anthony leaving his home town (Harlem) for school in New England. At first the two were talking about getting married but when he gets back 7 months, he knows something is different about her. she was this great peot, and now she is a thin wasted drug addict. Anthony is going to try to do everything he can to get her to stop using drugs. Read this book to find out what else happens to Anthony.
I love this book. it made me realize what drugs really can to do you and your loved ones. The beast also reminded me about another story, i was told when i was younger. I recommend you to read this book.
What other book did this remind you of? Is Anthony going to college, and is Gabi still in HS, or not going to college?
