The short novel Blood Is Thicker is about a 16-year-old boy named Hakeem, who discovers his dad has cancer. His dad can no longer work because he's so weak. Hakeem's family can no longer afford their home in Calafornia, so they move to stay with Hakeem's Aunt Lorrianne, Uncle James, and cousin Savon, in Detroit. Hakeem and Savon used to play together when they were younger, but Savon has changed. He has been coming home late, and hanging out with weird friends. Hakeem wants to know what he's doing.
This is a mysterious novel and can also get sad at some points. Hakeem has many emotions in the novel. He calms himself down when playing his guitar. Playing his guitar is also how he made his first friend in Detroit. Anika. He and Anika are friends, but then Anika moves away. Hakeem is not alone though. You'll have to read to find out why!
