About this product
Product Information
Thirteen-year-old Butterball doesn't have much going for him. He's teased mercilessly about his weight. He hates the Long Island suburb his mom moved them to and wishes he still lived with his dad in the city. And now he's stuck talking to a totally out-of-touch therapist named Liz. Liz tries to uncover what happened that day on the playground - a day that landed one kid in the hospital and Butterball in detention. Butterball refuses to let her in on the truth, and while he evades her questions, he takes readers on a journey through the moments that made him into the playground bully he is today. This devastating yet ultimately redemptive story is told in voice-driven prose and accented with drawings and photographs, making it a natural successor to The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Loosely inspired by 50 Cent's own adolescence, and written with his fourteen-year-old son in mind, Playground is sure to captivate wide attention - and spark intense discussion.

Reviews
"Brimming with deep insight." - School and Library Journal "Unrepentant, unpretentious, and authentic." - Publisher's Weekly "Butterball's unrepentant, unpretentious, and authentic narrative voice is more than enough to carry the story." - Publisher's Weekly "Eye-opening and compassionate ... great for discussions." - VOYA "An instructive and inviting look into the psychology of a young bully." - Kirkus, "50 Cent has become an incredible force in American culture. Given his background and everything he's gone through to come out on the side of success, he's the perfect voice to speak to such an important issue affecting our youth." - Russell Simmons "I applaud [50 Cent] for writing this book for young adults about the terrible epidemic of bullying. He has the ear of his audience, and by sharing some of his own experiences, he is in the best position to help kids get through a frightening time and come out of it whole. As a mother, I thank him for teaching the basic human principles of kindness to one another." - Bette Midler "50 Cent takes monster to new depths in this character who haunts and inspires. PLAYGROUND is both a sly and brutally smart novel." - Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Award-winning author of One Crazy Summer and National Book Award nominee for Jumped, "Brimming with deep insight." - School and Library Journal "Unrepentant, unpretentious, and authentic." - Publisher's Weekly "Eye-opening and compassionate ... great for discussions." - VOYA "An instructive and inviting look into the psychology of a young bully." - Kirkus
