After Tupac & D Foster
by Jacqueline Woodson (2008)
Newbery Honor Book
Three 11-13 yr old girls deal with families, foster parents, growing up, a gay brother in prison, and the music/death of Tupac. Very well done, the girls deal with personal freedom and maturing while staying respectful of adults and their own self-worth and potential. Positive role models, coming of age.
