Jones, Tayari. LEAVING ATLANTA
New York : Warner Books, 2002
IL YA
ISBN 0446528307
Three children growing up in
Atlanta in 1979 find their world complicated by unimaginable events. We
meet LaTasha. Social dynamics are changing and girls she thought were
her friends are treating her badly. When Jashante shows some interest
in her, she is really torn about what is going on. Then there is
Rodney, too weird to have any friends. He is the brunt of jokes and is
usually seen by himself reading. The last part of the story is told by
Octavia -- too black and too outspoken. She tries to be nice to other
students but she still finds herself sitting alone in the lunchroom
while kids call her names. All the kids are also going through issues at home. When the child murders begin, the kids' lives get even harder.
