How did Kenisha Lewis's life go from near perfect to sheer chaos in just a few months? Coping with family tragedy is tough enough without getting kicked out of private school and sent to the local public school, where she's forced to make some major adjustments. New friends (and enemies), new clothes, a hot new guy who might be mixed up in something serious... It's no surprise that those close to her think Kenisha's moving way too fast. One thing's for sure: in order to deal with the trouble that's coming her way, she'll have to figure out who to trust, who to ditch and how to be true to the person she really is....

      Gr 7 Up-Part romance, part problem novel, part cautionary tale, this book is full of drama. Kenisha Lewis's mother has just died, and the 15-year-old is having a great deal of difficulty accepting her suicide. Confused and angry, she makes choices in her troubled mental state that defy logicadult logic, that is. Kenisha gets caught up in neighborhood violence, wild parties, and deception. She has "drama" with her father and with her former boyfriend's "baby mamma," and has fights in school. She also has best girl friends who are there for her; a wise, but strict grandmother; a big sister who is a role model; and a gentle, understanding new boyfriend. Norfleet captures African-American life as it might be experienced by an upwardly mobile young black female. The story has plenty of action and rapid-fire movement, which should make it a hit with reluctant readers."Carol Jones Collins, Hanover Park High School, East Hanover, NJ"
