Woodson, Jacqueline After Tupac & D Foster, 153 pages. G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2008.
Language: PG-13, Mature Content: PG; Violence: PG-13;
HS – ADVISABLE
Neeka and her best friend are crazy about Tupac and his music; he really seems to get where they’re coming from. When they meet D Foster, the girls get a better understanding of the harsh reality behind Tupac’s music. The three girls spend a brief two years together, growing up and looking for their “Big Purpose”, and then both D Foster and Tupac are forever gone.
Woodson does an excellent job of describing the growing pains of these young girls. I personally felt I better understood why Tupac meant so much to so many after reading this. Teens will enjoy the relevant issues and realistic dialogue.
