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.

y0 this is the best book i have ever read i have alot of connections with it you should make a movie over it. if you have a good producers to help you the movie will be big but yo may not gett big name producers but you could get some of your students to act for you and get the parents, students, the school and raise as much money as you can to fund it.(i know it hard to raise money and gt parents to pay in the self pro claimed “hood” but still try) but thats all nigga deuces

Melissa

Hi, names Melissa im 13 from Fort Lowell Townsend K-8. A couple months ago i wanted to right a book,so i started out with a journal and wrote in it everyday(just to see if i like to write, turns out i did.)Well i caught my self writing stories my first story is 30 pages long im not done writing but yeah.In your presentation I notice that you said it took 14 years to publish your book because you kept getting rejected but you never gave up. That made me relize no matter how long it takes just keep going.I wanna be a young writer and make my stories really good. Your books are really popular i wanna read the book homeboys so bad but i have to wait on Monday. I need help and tips so i know what the challenges im going to face im looking forward to this, if i have to write it 100 times i will.Please help and thank you Alan Hope You Answer.
http://www.alanlawrencesitomer.com/ Alan Sitomer

Thanks for the nice words, Melissa. Best advice is to JUST KEEP WRITING! Never give up, keep working at your craft and keep improving. Like everything else in this world, it takes time, effort, practice and patience to get really good at something – so don’t look for shortcuts but instead, take the right road – not the easy one – and you’ll find the answers as you go.

Good luck and happy adventure!
