Summary of Boy 21
The book I read was called Boy 21. This book is about three high school seniors that love basketball. One of those people is Findly. Findly is the starting point guard and loves to play basketball and not just because his girlfriend’s Erin’s loves to. Findly is the type of kid that doesn't talk a lot because his mother died when he was young. Findly has been assigned by his basketball coach to lookafter and mentor a new kid. His name is Russ Washington. Findly doesn't really want to because Russ has the same number and plays the same position, but it's ok because Russ doesn't want to take Findly's spot because he really likes Findly. Coach wanted Findly to do this because he thinks Findly is a really nice kid but also they have a little bit in common. Russ's parents were both murdered like Findly’s mother. Coach was really good friends with Russ's father and went to college with him. That’s why he wanted Russ to come to school at Belmont High, but that’s not the only reason. Russ is wonderful at basketball. He is a national scouted player. Russ is six six, and has phenomenal muscle tone. He was made to play basketball, "so to speak." After the incident with Ruses parents, Russ thinks he is from outer space. He thinks he was sent here to learn about emotions from the earthlings. He always tells Findly to not feel bad because he is programed this way. When Findly first brings Russ into Belmont, Russ thinks it is disgusting, because he came from a really rich part of town. There is trash everywhere and there are a lot of houses that are abandoned, because people have got evicted. Belmont is run by the Irish mob. Findly, Russ, and Erin don't have to worry about this because Erin's brother is in the mod and is a very large intimidating guy. When Erin first sees Russ, She thinks that he is kind of weird, everybody does. When the whole community finds out that Russ is a wonderful basketball player they don’t really care. Erin is on the girls’
basketball team and is the point guard. She was planning on moving out of Belmont with Findly and play college ball. Until she gets hit by a car and ends up in the hospital and out for the whole basketball season. Although this happens she still figures a way out of Belmont, she and Findly end up together in a sweet little town far away from Belmont, and Russ ends up becoming a professional basketball player and keeps in touch will Findly.
