Jamal is a boy who goes to school and comes home everyday, but his brother went to jail for something he didn?t do. Jamal and his mother have to get the money to retry the case. Now Jamal stays out the gang his brother was in. Scorpions by Walter Dean Myers, is one of those books that could happen with in real life of families with children getting caught up in gangs just like Randy's did, but not everyone gets out before it is to late. I like the book because of what Jamal does for his brother. It has a good meaning of relating to life, especially how Jamal helps his brother get out of jail and takes care of his mother and sister. It has some sad parts and some action parts.
