Class of 2015 discussion

"Woodson [has] created moments of humanity that the girls respond to with whole hearts. They wear innocence like polished armor, and it shines." -New York Times Book Review. After Tupac and D Foster is now one of my favorite books because I can relate to it, and most of you probably can to. At first I laughed at the title, but then once I started reading it, I realized it wasn't all about Tupac. The novel is about 3 African-American girls whose idol is Tupac Shakur. It takes place during the 1990s and talks about the girls' friendship and life being similar to Tupac's. I would recommend this book to both boys and girls ages 12 and up. "We loved D because she was our girl and because she'd been to places Neeka and me probably weren't ever gonna see." (pg. 19) Jaqueline Woodson has also written Locomotion, Feathers, Behind You, Hush, and many more.
