====**Walter Dean MeyersThe Beast **====

This story is about a guy named Anthony Spoon and a girl named Gabi. The book takes place in New York. In the beginning of this book Spoon and Gabi are a sweet sweet couple together just like any other couple would be and they loved each other very very much. When Spoon had to go to the academy and left Gabi behind she became very depressed and sad that Spoon was gone, and that she would not get to see him for a long time. But at the same time she felt happy that Spoon was going to go and get a decent schooling and setting up an amazing opportunity but nothing would prepare Spoon and Gabi for what was going to happen next. Towards the middle of the novel during the rising action Spoon decides to come home for the holidays. When Spoon comes home he finds out that things had taken a turn for the worst. Spoon found out about Gabi's mother being in the hospital and being very ill. AND he found about Gabi's drug problems and Spoon was very upset about all of this. And then Spoon actually opened his eyes and realized just how bad his neighborhood had become. Or was it always that bad?
