Big Slick
TEEN
While I do not actually play Texas Hold 'Em, I have certainly heard a lot about it. I have heard of a lot of teens getting into playing poker, lately, because of all the TV coverage of poker championships and such. I have also heard of a lot of teens getting into trouble because of the gambling addiction they develop. Andrew is one such teen. He is 17 years old, a budding poker player, and a thief. He stole a lot of money -- $600 to be exact -- from his dad's dry cleaning business so that he could keep playing poker at a secret poker room run by a guy named Shushie, and time is about to run out on his little secret. So, how does he get out of this mess? Does he just tell his dad everything? Does he steal even more money to try and win back what he's lost? Does he just run away from home? Well... I'm certainly not going to tell you! Go out and get the book!
And when you're done reading this book -- or even when you just come in to pick it up -- make sure you sign up to come to our author visit. That's right: Eric Luper will be at the East Greenbush Community Library on Thursday, December 13th @ 3pm!!! Hope to see you then!
Happy Reading!
