Jason & Kyra

(4) YA African-American teens Jason the jock and Kyra the brain realize their feelings for each other, begin dating, experience peer pressure, break up, and reunite. The book's uniqueness stems from its narrative voice. The omniscient narrator's use of slang in both dialogue and narration can be forced and stilted but at times is poetic and contemporary.
