Thirteen-year-old Butterball doesn't have much going for him. He's teased about his weight. He hates the Long Island suburb his mom moved them to so she could go to nursing school and start her life over. He wishes he still lived with his dad in New York City - where there's always something happening, even if his dad doesn't have much time for him.

Still, that's not why he beat up Maurice on the playground.

Now his school is forcing him to talk to some out-of-touch lady therapist, as though she could ever fix him - as though she could ever figure out the truth. No, Butterball's lips are sealed about what happened that day. But some tales can't help being told. And this is one of them.

Inspired by 50 Cent's own adolescence, Playground is a hard-hitting and inspirational story of the redemption of a bully. Difficult Discussions Difficult Situations Family & Relationships Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Peer Pressure Social & Life Skills

The first chapter did its job! Gets you wanting to read the next one. After that, I couldn't stop turning the page and listening at the same time.

There's a big lesson to be learned here to those who are open minded and willing to see what it is. I hope those who read this really enjoy it as much as I did.

Absolutely amazing
