Sam has the rules of slackerhood down: Don't be late to class.
Don't ever look the teacher in the eye. Develop your blank stare.
Since his mom left, he has become an expert in the art of slacking,
especially since no one at his new school gets his intense passion
for the music of the Pacific Northwest--Nirvana, Hole,
Sleater-Kinney. Then his English teacher begins a slam poetry unit
and Sam gets paired up with the daunting, scarred,
clearly-a-gang-member Luis, who happens to sit next to him in every
one of his classes. Slacking is no longer an option--Luis will
destroy him. Told in Sam's raw voice and interspersed with vivid
poems, "Jumped In" by Patrick Flores-Scott is a stunning debut
novel about differences, friendship, loss, and the power of
words.
