Tyrell by Booth Coe
An astonishing new voice in teen literature, writing what is sure to be one of the most talked-about debuts of the year.Tyrell is a young African-American teen who can't get a break. He's living (for now) with his spaced-out mother and little brother in a homeless shelter. His father's in jail. His girlfriend supports him, but he doesn't feel good enough for her -- and seems to be always on the verge of doing the wrong thing around her. There's another girl at the homeless shelter who is also after him, although the desires there are complicated. Tyrell feels he needs to score some money to make things better. Will he end up following in his father's footsteps?Coe Booth was born and reared in New York City's Bronx. Tyrell, Kendra, Bronxwood, and Almost like Brothers are her books. She currently works as a full-time writer and part-time writing teacher at Vermont College of Fine Arts in the Bronx. Booth also coaches teen writers as part of the NAACP's ACT-SO program.
