Reviews

Praise for Coe Booth's Tyrell:

A 2007 LA Times Book Prize Winner for Young Adult Fiction

An ALA Best Book for Young Adults

"A gritty and gripping first novel." -- The New York Times Book Review

* "Heartbreakingly realistic... Unlike many books reflecting the contemporary street scene, this one is more than just a pat situation with a glib resolution; it's filled with surprising twists and turns that continue to the end." -- Booklist, starred review

"The definitive tale of the modern African American urban youth." -- Voice of Youth Advocates

"The author so convincingly grounds her story in Tyrell's tough-talking but vulnerable voice that we are won over to his side." -- Horn Book, starred review

"Booth combines the rhythm of raw street lingo with the harsh realities of an inner-city urban life to illuminate the labyrinth of Tyrell's world... This is a thrilling, fast-paced novel whose strong plot and array of vivid, well-developed characters take readers on an unforgettable journey through the gritty streets of New York City's South Bronx." -- School Library Journal, starred review

Praise for Kendra:

* "Booth has a talent for emotional honesty... feelings of abandonment and betrayal radiate from the page... Booth delivers dynamic characters and an engaging story." School Library Journal, starred review
