The Kids at Latimar High is a novel for young adults following African-American high school student Lauren O'Neil, whose passions include earning her continuing place on the honor roll and tracking down the biggest scoops for the school paper. When she gets a hot assignment to interview Kevin Johnson, Latimar High's star quarterback and one of the handsomest young men in the Bronx, she's suddenly in competition with just about every girl in the school for his attention, including her best friend Rosalyn.   

     But will vying for a cute boy cause her to transgress her "girlfriend do's and don't codes to live by," or even cost her all her female friends?

     A thoughtful novel about learning to balance complex social situations, especially recommended for school or public libraries that serve African-American communities. --- Click here
