Summary: The Best New Teen Book
Review: This is the first book I have seen for teens that is truly from their perspective. Nakeisha has the attitude of some of the girls I know, Gemini is smart and geeky, but respected, Patrick is a cocky prep, Ricky is a star athlete that gets breaks from everyone because he is supposed to go pro, Alex is bipolar, LaStacia is an actress, cheerleader and athlete who everyone wants to get with, Jamal is funny and he gets high, and Everitt is cool but he's kinda slow. I love this book. The characters in this book: Patrick, Nakeisha, Gemina, Alex, LaStacia, Jamal, Ricky and Everitt will win any audience over. Finally, a book with many multicultural characters. There is a character for everyone no matter who you are. This is a must-read.

Summary: Fresh New Style
Review: Welcome to the real world! This book is perfect for readers looking to capture a sense of what our students experience during a typical year of high school. If your tired of the typical Brady Bunch moral lessons, take the time to read this book. It presents the real problems and situations that teens encounter. Times have changed, but unfortunately writing styles seem to be progressing at a much slower pace. Tate Thompson exhibits an amazing ability to identify with teens and their struggles. I highly recommend this book. Hopefully Mr. Thompson is working on a sequel.
