The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed
5.0

Beautiful coming of age story of Ashley in 1992 LA -- Before, During, and After the trial of the 4 police are aquitted of the beating of Rodney King.
Ashley is in her last year of high school. She's had the same friends forever and they are soaking up as much fun at they can get before going separate ways.They help spread a rumor that threatens the future of a classmate.

I flew through this book. It still is relevant today. A wonderful YA debit.
