Gang leader for a day

The book i am reading is Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh. I found this book from a family friend who said i really should read it. I am reading it because i am going to Chicago with my church this summer in the projects. This is where my book takes place. I also chose to read it because its a true story about a real student and how he had an unexpected schooling experience. These are a few reasons why i chose to read the book Gang leader for a day.
