Sampson Davis,George Jenkins,Rameck Hunt
Growing up on the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck, George, and Sampson could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison.Â But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors.Â  It took a lot of determinationâ€”and a lot of support from one anotherâ€”but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded.Â Retold with the help of an award-winning author, this younger adaptation of the adult hit novel ,The Pact, is a hard-hitting, powerful, and inspirational book that will speak to young readers everywhere.
