Woodson, Jacqueline. 2008. After Tupac & D Foster.
Some books leave me a bit speechless. This is one of them. This is one of those strange books that is both about nothing and about everything. The book chronicles the friendship of three girls: the nameless narrator, Neeka, and D Foster over the course of a few years--around three years I think. These years--the middle years between eleven and thirteen--are difficult for most, but the friendship the girls share makes it bearable somehow despite their own individual problems--personal and family.
This one is all about friendship, family, and the meaning of life. It's a bittersweet book in some ways. But always well done. The writing is what you'd expect from Jacqueline Woodson.

I felt that way about Woodson's Feathers, too. I think that's a really good way to describe it.
(Also, I just have to say that you are a Cybils reading MACHINE! Awesome!)
I didn't like this book at all, really. It was bittersweet, but not that great.
this book was real good there isn't anything wrong with it it just explains everyday life whats so wrong with that.and the book has a good meaning to it.:}
