A Dream Too Big: The Story of an Improbable Journey from Compton to Oxford - Caylin Louis Moore
By all rights, Moore should be dead, in prison, or stalking the streets of Compton with his fellow gang members. Instead, he's a Rhodes scholar, author, speaker, and role model for any kid living in a downtrodden community. He even cofounded an organization of athletes that encourages youth to attend college. An intriguing biography! 240 pages, hardcover. Nelson.
