Cross Out by Roger
Cannon is the story of 17 year old Jaime “Kimo” Flores who leads three very
different lives. He’s a talented artist, an aspiring future cop and he is a
member of a local tagging crew. When members of his crew kill a member of a
local gang called The Posse, Jaime finds himself in a race against time to keep
himself, his friends and his family safe. In the community of Bell Gardens,
Jaime starts to see the lines between his different lives begin to blur. He
must choose his final path before it is chosen for him. What path will he take?
Will he make it out alive?
Cross Out is an
interesting look into urban life and the impact the community has on the youth
who grow up there. While I appreciate the author’s capture of the urban life, I
was not captivated by the story. I see this story appealing more to young adult
readers especially teenage boys. I recommend this book for young adult readers or
anyone who can appreciate a story of an urban youth trying to find his way in
the world.
Cross Out
