Set in the town of Milton, the story follows young Andre Battel from age eight through his teenage years as he grows away from his Jamaican family, discovers genuine prowess on the basketball court, and eventually falls into a routine of dealing drugs for the local street gang. The story is told primarily through Andre's voice. What emerges is a rich portrait of a black family, a black community, and one young boy/man poised between youthful innocence and ambiguous experience.

The author grew up in the same area of Boston where Andre and his family lived so I’m assuming that his portrayal of Andre’s life is realistic. His story is about how easy it is for a good kid to make bad choices when in certain environments. I liked Andre and kept rooting for him to do the right things. He rarely listened to me though! If you pick up Team Seven, make sure you hang in there past the first bit – it will be worth it. ( )
