Smells like Progress
Strolling through the 'net, I stopped by Cush City to browse their YA selection.
What I found was a page with So Not The Drama listed among a six-pack of books for young readers of color.
How nice was it to see these six books - all contemporary, all featuring an African American lead and all seemingly absent of the heavy "I smell an award because this is so depressing" feel that books for young black readers usually have?
Very!
I'm proud to have So Not The Drama among the Cush City Six-Pack.
And what's best is that it's also home among any contemporary YAs about the trials and tribs of high school life.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say this smells like progress.
Mmmm...sweet indeed.
