P. A. M. Jones: Summer '89Po', Black & Gifted is a hilarious, middle grades novel straight from the projects of Eastwood Terrace in Nacogdoches, Texas that pays homage to 80's babies. Pam is a feisty, 10-year-old girl growing up po', black and gifted. Her summer journal writing shows book smarts is not enough to keep her out of typical project mess. Summer '89 includes fighting boys, "hot" clothes, getting chased by dogs, a broken friendship, "yo mama" jokes, MORE fighting boys, losing a crush, gaining a boyfriend and way more drama than any gifted girl should have in a summer.
