Hip-Hop High School
by Alan Lawrence Sitomer

Description:

Theresa Anderson is every kind of smart: too smart-mouthed for her own good, street-smart enough to deal with a neighborhood that gets more dangerous every day, and more book-smart than anyone knows. But with the example of her super-achieving older brother towering above her, Theresa hasn’t even been trying. With her parents and her teachers always on her case and her best friend pregnant and dropped out of school, Theresa turns to hip-hop for comfort. Then, everything changes when a new man comes into Theresa’s life: Devon, whose tough-guy reputation conceals a blazing ambition for academic success. Devon helps Theresa realize her own talent and ambition, and together they set off on a three-year quest to beat the SAT and get into top colleges. But when the violence of the street catches up to Devon, Theresa is left with two piles of unfinished college applications -- her own and Dev’s. Time is running out for both of them.
