"A Walk In The Chi" is a coming of age tale about young teenagers battling morals, family structure, ego, and peer pressure. A relatable story of everyday coincidence, struggles to do the right thing, and real life moments that happen all too often.Summer time in Chicago can be unforgiving. Everyday, kids go outside to play and socialize, not knowing what they may come across and what it could lead to. During one of their walks around their Southside neighborhood, Che Matters and his best friend, J Jax, stumble upon a gun and some weed stashed on the roof of a school they used to attend. Pressed for material things and the desire to be popular, the boys make a choice and try to capitalize off their findings and use it to their advantage as they had seen others do. Feeling like they hit the lottery, they go out and experience life, doing simple things they have never done like spending money, flirting with girls, being chased and fighting. With their new found contraband and attitudes of invincibility, will the boys get swallowed up by the environment in which they live while facing the consequences of the choices they have made?Author's Note: This book contains commonly used urban slang.
