Finally a book by a modern day rapper!

This book is about a thirteen year old boy named Butterball, who does not cope well when he is bullied at school. Set in New York, Butterball has family problems when his parents divorce; his mother struggles to become a nurse and his father doesn't have a stable lifestyle.  Butterball is sad and humiliated about his life in general, wanting some new high-top trainers to keep up with the cool gang, but finding it hard to actually form friendships. He ends up seeing a counsellor to work through his problems and this results in him being able to follow his dreams of making movies, but not before a few issues have to be resolved along the way!
