Description
When CC, a bright inner-city teenager, receives an application to a gifted and talented charter school, his mother trashes it. But CC secretly rescues it from the garbage and applies. Living in the depressed projects, attending a failing school, will CC have the courage and the spirit to escape the world of gangs and poverty? CC applies and is accepted. Though he feels like a fake, CC gradually gains confidence and bonds with three kids. As close friends they mature together, deal with their environment and set themselves on the road to a positive future. CC matures sexually; becomes a foster child in his friend Latisha¿s home; finds a long lost relative; develops strategies to deal with the Bloods; has a relationship with a mentor, his employer, a Korean immigrant; and solves the mystery of the lurking shadow in the girls¿ room. Spirit is a story of courage and determination that proves that you can overcome the most challenging obstacles and take positive steps to control your own destiny with grit and determination.
