I chose to read After Tupac and D foster. So far it addresses a lot of really important issues. The narrator is a twelve year old girl who has no idea where her father is. In the beginning of the book she comes across D, another 12 year old girl who has grown up in the foster care system. The narrator is fascinated by D because she has the freedom to roam the streets and do as she pleases, D always seems to be looking for something. Throughout the book events are paralleled by the songs of Tupac and D feels like they are connected in some way.
I am really enjoying the book so far. The language is a little difficult to get used to for it is written in slang and like a 12 year old would write. Besides that, it’s a pretty easy read and it is going by really fast. I think a lot of people can relate to the characters in the book who are missing parents or people who use music to help them through hard times.
