After Tupac & D Foster (Newbery Honor Book)

Â
A Newbery Honor Book

The day D Foster enters Neeka and her best friendâ€™s lives, the world opens up for them. Suddenly theyâ€™re keenly aware of things beyond their block in Queens, things that are happening in the worldâ€”like the shooting of Tupac Shakurâ€”and in search of their Big Purpose in life. Whenâ€”all too soonâ€”Dâ€™s mom swoops in to reclaim her, and Tupac dies, they are left with a sense of how quickly things can change and how even all-too-brief connections can touch deeply.
