Book Overview
Sixteen-year-old Jasmine Richardson has a love for music. When she gets on the turntables, her gift for spinning and rhyming earn her admiration and respect. She's also talented academically, but her parents disapprove of their daughter's hobby, hoping it's a phase she's going through. Still, Jasmine finds it hard to deny the joy and freedom she feels when she's playing music that makes people smile and dance. After a local contest, Jasmine attracts the interest of some music-industry honchos. Then the attitudes of the people around her seem to change and she's forced to face some tough situations. Suddenly it becomes harder for her to tell who's really happy for her and who's totally a fake. But when the music is in your heart, and your talent shines bright, sometimes all you can do is...spin it like that.

my input on spin it like that
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Spin it Like That, was pretty good. It draws you in from the very beginning. Spin it like that addressed problems that a regular teen goes through everyday and also provided you with the consequences so you could see how not to get yourself in those situations. while it did all that it still managed to keep me entertained with a fictional plot.
This book was wonderful!

This book was so good! I liked it because it talks about teenage life styles and the music industry. The more I read the better the plot became! The characters were like people I know and the story made you really care about them. The ending was not what you expected .

This book is right up my alley because I love music and dee-jaying. It shows the connection between friends and family. The book shows the value of working hard and living through your dreams to accomplish things; in this case dee-jaying to have money for college. The book also shows teens how negative influences and people can change the direction of your life. You have to be careful who you associate with and make wise decisions even when people try to steer you in the wrong direction.
Great read!!
