(2) 4-6 The mothers of the narrator and her best friend don't allow them to leave their block. The girls are drawn to D, whose foster mother lets her "roam." It's 1994, and the main characters are captivated by rapper Tupac Shakur's legal troubles and near-murder. Woodson eloquently lays out what Tupac means to the trio and their community in this ruminative, bittersweet novel.
