Gym Candy is a book about a boy named Mick Johnson who is a football superstar. His father Mike Johnson also lived the dream and played in the NFL but his dad always told him that he had gotten severely injured and stopped playing, when really he had a bad attitude and was kicked off of the team. Mick took his father's lies with a grain of salt and carried on with his life striving to be the best he could be. Mick had entered his high school career, along with his best friend Drew. They had made the varsity football team but were backups. The next season Mick was told he wasn't powerful so he started lifting. His dad got a free membership along with his new job, to a gym named Popeye's. Mick started attending Popeyes daily to get very strong. His trainer named Peter Volz then had bribed Mick to start with steroids which lead to devastation. Mick had felt as though he was cheating himself and cheating the team. His friend Drew and also gotten involved in the steroid use. After time of taking the steroids, Mick then tries to commit suicide but accidently missed. He then lives and attends rehab but he still thinks about steroids all the time. This book was the best one I have ever read. The first person point of view is really good and allows you to feel Micks thoughts. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys sports!
