Description
The Scholar A West-Side Story by Courttia Newland is a gripping novel about two young men from different paths. After his father's death, Cory moves in with his cousin Sean, who has chosen education as a way to improve his life. However, when Cory gets involved in crime, their lives become increasingly intertwined.
When Cory stabs a man named Roger after a rave, he puts himself in grave danger. Roger was supposed to be part of an armed robbery with Levi, a notorious crack dealer. But Cory breaks his leg during a football match and Sean agrees to join the robbery to help him out. As they become embroiled in a world of easy money and hard drugs, Sean finds it harder to return to his old life as The Scholar.
