I stayed up late last night to finish Alan Lawrence Sitomer's Hip-Hop High School. It's an awesome young adult read. Compelling narrative, strong female voice, authentic glimpse into urban high school life. The main character,Tee-Ay (Theresa), struggles with a changing neighborhood, cultural conflicts, romantic roadblocks, violence, sibling competition, tough teachers, college entrance requirements, and her own ideology/life purpose development. Sitomer presents a wonderfully resilient voice couched in a plotline that will make you laugh and cry simultaneously in the end.Check it out!
