Street Pharm

Ty is an intelligent kid, but one minute he's in school, and the next minute he's caught up in the illegal drug trade and all that it entails. Does he have the sense to get out, or is he going to spend the rest of his life working the street pharm?This book was excellent, there should be more fiction out there like this for young adults. Street Pharm is very well-written and doesn't try to sugarcoat this unfortunately very real issue of teens getting into the drug dealing business.

This book was absolutely amazing, In this book Ty Johnson, son of Kingpin drug dealer Orlando Johnson. Ty is asked to run the business after Orlando gets thrown in jail!

Street Pharm by Allison Van Diepen was a good book that I would recommend to people who like action. To begin, Street Pharm is about a kid named Ty Johnson taking over his dad’s drug business. It explains how he gets customers and how he sells around school and out of school. Ty wants to finish school to make his mother proud, but it's hard for him to keep selling and going to school. This book is really good because it has everything like peaceful, suspenseful, and romantic moments. This is a [...]

Allison van Diepen takes a very refreshing approach to telling the story of a young black man involved in the world of drug dealing. Ty Johnson, the main character, is only seventeen years old when he takes over his father's drug empire. What I really liked about Ty isthat he he is not just some brainless thug; he is a businessman. He is extremely disciplined and he takes his business very seriously. He is extremely smart, but his gifts are being misused. I appreciate the way that van Diepen con [...]

I am a teacher who works in a group home for ‘last chance’ high schoolers. A student of mine who had read “Takedown” asked me to get this book. I read reviews and thought it would be A’ight but still I wanted to read it first. It turns out to be the perfect book for this young man. The protagonist is a drug dealer but he lives by a code. He really is a good guy. Smart, too but with a - who needs school-attitude. He goes to clubs and restaurants and drinks- a little. He even tries a mar [...]

This book had a lot of good qualities and I think definitely interests young adults, especially those living in the city and who are either directly or indirectly affected by drugs in their community. It was enlightening to read a book from the drug dealer's--or "hustler's"-- point of view, especially a drug hustler who is also a teenager in high school. Some of the best moments were when the main character, Ty, is realizing while in school he gets to act like his age and gets a break from runni [...]

"Street Pharm," by Allison van Diepen, is relatively different from anything you'd call a novel. The story is about a young hustler from Brookland. When his dad went to jail a few years ago, he took over as 'kingpin' for the family business. The family business you ask? Ty Johnson, the main character, likes to call it YDDA. Young Drug Dealers of America. He's the main man of a huge branch of drug dealers (employees) to users (customers). The book gives you a great insight on what real street lif [...]

This book was a page turner. I thought that this was a very interesting book, and that Allison van Diepen is a very talented author. This story covers some of the problems that come with being hustlers on the streets. This book also has many lessons people can use in their everyday life even though they aren’t drug dealers. This book also has some romantic love issues as well. Many people think that drug dealers are the problem when really it’s the drugs itself. There more people dead becaus [...]

The genre is realistic fiction I chose to read this book because it looked like it had to do with people solving problems that come up in their life. The setting takes place in New York. The main character Ty is a local drug dealer taking after his father’s old business. A description of the main character is smart with his money, smart with his drug dealing, and smart with the people [...]

I thought this book was average, but I would definitely recommend it to my reluctant male readers (teens). It is a quick, easy read from the point of view of a young, black male who has followed in his drug dealing father's footsteps. He is intelligent, charismatic and kind hearted despite his profession. I think this could really resonate with a certain reader. It paints a brief, yet realistic picture if this particular world.

This book is absolutely amazingIt's so well written, and as you readyou feel as if you're right there with himfeeling everything he's going through andall the stress he's dealing with.I highly recommend this book !

Amazingly received by alternate education students who don't fit the 'traditional' model of a novel.
