Sharon Draper handles very serious subject matter in a way that is not watered down or condescending to teenagers. The short chapters and non-traditional format will appeal to students who don't normally like to read. Even with it's dated slang and references, it's still a far better choice than the Bluford series, and it will probably appeal to the same readers.
