(3) YA With Sharon M. Draper. In Draper's adaptation of the adult book, The Pact, three childhood friends tell the inspiring story of how they avoided drugs, gangs, and violence in their Newark, New Jersey, neighborhoods By supporting each other, they grow up to become medical doctors. Never didactic or preachy, the book is frank, personal, and frequently riveting.
