From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun
by Jacqueline Woodson

Description:

Love is worth the fight.

Imagine this:  you come home one day and your mom has some news for you. Something you want to keep secret. You think your friends won't understand. You know that you don't understand. So what do you do? Do you stand by your mother even if it means losing some friends? Do you abandon the only family you've ever known?

This is what's happening to Melanin Sun. His world is changing too fast for him to handle. Truth is never easy -- but sometimes it's the only thing to go by.
