Homeboyz

Homeboyz

When Teddy’s little sister, Tina, is gunned down in a drive-by shooting, the gang members who rule the streets in the Anderson family’s rapidly deteriorating neighborhood dismiss the incident as just another case of RP,RT – wrong place, wrong time. According to gangsta logic, Tina is just another random casualty in a never-ending inner-city street war.

But while the Anderson family mourns, Teddy plots revenge. Soon, he is arrested for attempted homicide and thrown into the dark reality of California’s juvenile prisons, his plans for revenge foiled.

However, an innovative probation program earns Teddy early release from jail and house arrest under the supervision of Officer Mariana Diaz. As part of the juvenile rehabilitation program Diaz runs, Teddy is assigned to mentor Micah, a twelve year old foster child and wanna-be gangbanger who has nothing: no parents, no role models, not even a raincoat to call his own.

Teddy pretends to comply with the terms of his probation while secretly using his elite computer hacker skills to plot his final vengeance against the gang members who took his baby sister’s life. However, Teddy fails to see how Micah’s desperate need for love and trust just might have the power to not only pierce all of Teddy’s defenses, but heal the deep wounds of the Anderson family.

Homeboyz is Alan Lawrence Sitomer’s darkest, most dramatic and most hopeful work yet.

  • Edwin

    The book “HomeBoys” is a great book that should be read, it relates to teens life and how we think. NOW THIS BOOK IS A MUST TO BE READ !!

  • Linda :D

    this is a must read book like for reals. it has really great details and you can feel like your there and knwo about the hardships and the things people go through in the inner city……we should read more boks like this. i am really interested in these books. And this book is really good and it has to do with most of he things that happpen in the inner city. and to some people, can actually relate. it is a good story really interesting and get hooked once youbegin to read it :) . great with details especially good with putting attention to the five senses, feels like im there witnessing it.
    10 out of 10 GREAT BOOK!!! MUST READ THE BOOK or youll miss out!!

  • Denisse

    this book is great.!
    i really think it should be made into a movie thats how great it is.
    it really relates to us teens and shows how many teens would really do the impossible just to fit in.and how gangs are destroying our communities. this a must read book.
    it is absolutely amazing.!!!!

  • Stephanie :)

    the book was great, i recommend the book. but um… Mr.Alan should work on not repeating stuff, i know he's trying to get the attention of the reader, but it sounds elementary. i am talkn about when teddy goes to jail and for some reason Mr.Alan has to repeat that all of his clothes have the name of the jail. other than that the book was awesome! i wonder how he was able to write this when he doesn't look the type of guy who has been through this, wht is ur inspiration?

  • Oscar Carias

    Well this was a great book honestly its my first book i have read, besides little kid books. I have been so close to reading books like i'm 3 chapters away from finishing it, but i never finish it. This has been the book i have read and there were long chapters, but time flew so fast it didn't seem so long. One night i read 13 chapters, in the beginning i had planned that i has going to stop after 3 chapters, but as the end of every chapter the book got more interesting. I was sad after i finished reading because the ending was fast. Either way this was a good book, everyone should read it because it relates a lot to teen life. :)

  • alex

    hey mr alan this book was sick in a good way

  • Carlos Lara

    This is an awesome book i read very little and i liked this book.
    they should definately make a movie out of it. It would be amazing to see this in a movie specially because of the violence

  • Arturo Valdez

    Before i read this book i never like reading. But when i read this book “HOMEBOYS” it got me hooked onj it… it doesnt let u wanna stop reading beacuse its so interesting and we can reflect on things that happen in our neiborhood within the book.
    If i were a book critic ill rate it and 100 out of 10.. yea thats rite… this book is that good… n wat ca i i say about the author.. hes pretty awsome to like hes the best at wat he oes im sure glad that i have him as a teacher. “”ALAN SITOMER IS THE BEST”"”

  • pedrolemus

    homeboz is the best book i have ever read. once you pick up the book you can't put it down. i would recomend this book to everyone HOMEBOYZ IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • marvell

    fucking awsum book great fuckin job

  • marvell

    get off there fucking johnson bitch

  • Cassandra Garcia

    This book is great for any young adult. Homeboyz really did top all of the other books I've read. Reading these kinds of books is better than reading the english literature books at school. Also besides the book Monster I'm reading Hip-Hop High School. Next is the Hoopster.

  • michaelvaldovinos

    Woah mr alan this is the best book ecer i thought it was gonna be all boring and urealistic but i was wrong way wrong keep up with these good books!

  • chrisrios

    Just an amazing book. I honestly can't believe this hasn't been turned into a movie. It has the suspense and thrill that we need when reading a book. This book is outstanding and i couldn't wait to see what Teddy would do next. I'd suggest checking it out if you have'nt read it. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

  • josh bruce

    the best book ever!!!

  • kaylani n.

    this is probably my favorite book, i've read it like 4 times. and i've told alot of my friends about it & they all liked it. it's probably the only book i've actually wanted to read more than once, because i felt like it, not because i had to. good book though, seriously.

Its amazing I encouage everybody to buy the book read the book and pass it on especaillay to all the young kids who wanna b a homie or a gangbanger the rest of their life.. its really inspiring… and down to earth … it dont critizie teenagers for being who they are they are saying it as it is.. and honestly you would do what teddy did its a really really really easy book to get sucked in to… and when u reread it its like u never read it before its exciting and omg amazing

    I assume he gets the inspiration from his students. If you read The Secret Story of Sonia Rodriguez you will know what I mean. He writes with so much detail and knowledge that he must really care about the 100′s of students whom he got inspiration from.

  • zack

    i love this book so much i also read hip hop high school and hoopster and loved those books to for class i had to write a poem about a book so i wrote about this one here is my poem tell me if its good

    Teddy’s sister got killed

    it isn’t something he
    willed

    Teddy sought revenge

    for a death he could not
    avenge

    Teddy got arrested

    he’s forced to help Micah

    get his grades better

    or officer Diaz will send
    the police a letter

    Micah wants to join a gang

    hopefully it won’t go out
    with a bang

    Teddy gives Micah food

    and Micah stops being rude

    he finds out Micah has
    dyslexia

    and helps him read

    and fulfills his needs

    Teddy’s parents take
    Micah in

    and he promises not to sin

    then Teddy goes home

    and Micah gets to see

    what its like to live

    with a normal family
