Forged by Fire
From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun
 By Sharon Draper "A young teenager … struggles to keep his head and stay safe when confronted by drunkenness, drugs, … abuse, … and neglect. He struggles to find dignity along with dinner and something clean to wear, all while facing the normal challenges of teenager-hood." By Jacqueline Woodson  "When [Melanin's mom] brings home a new friend for him to meet, his adolescent whining is so realistic and cute, you almost have no idea that she is going to spring such a bombshell on him soon." |
