This book is about a kid who moves from California to Detroit becuase his father has cancer and can no longer work. The family doesn't have any money to play for the treatment . The main character is a good rapper, too. This book was interesting and never boring which is why I liked it so much.

Blood is Thicker moves at an engaging pace through the changing events in Hakeem's life, yet the story still manages to take enough time unveiling the inner, emotional turmoil of its main character. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series.
