Hot Summer Must-Read - Playground

Playground-The Mostly True Story of a Former Bully

By 50 Cent

 What could possibly motivate a thirteen year old boy to fill a sock with batteries, and use it to repeatedly assault a former friend?  Through his discussions with his therapist, ‘Butterball’ gradually reveals his frustration and loneliness with his new life in the suburbs and articulates how issues of image, masculinity and homophobia all conspired to send him into the playground that day to vent his rage.
