BEACON HILLS HIGH BY OUR THICKETTE MO’NIQUE
MO’NIQUE IS BACK ON THE LITERARY SCENE. WITH HER NEW BOOK BEACON HILLS HIGH, DUE IN SEPTEMBER.
In keeping with her theme of empowerment for thicker sisters-Beacon Hills High (Amistad/Harpercollins), is being described as a coming-of-age story that deals with body image, adjusting to change, and being comfortable in one’s skin-issues that definitely affect teenage girls.
Check out the book’s synopsis:
Getting into Millwood High, the “tightest” high school in Baltimore, is all that’s been consuming thirteen-year-old F.A.T. (Fabulous And Thick, that is) Eboni Michelle Imes. When she’s accepted, all that she can think about are four years of fun with her best friends, Michelle, Yolanda, and Charisse-the TTC (the Too Tight Crew).
But life has other plans for Eboni. When her father finally lands his dream job, everyone is excited-except Eboni. While Dad’s new business venture means moving the family to glamorous Los Angeles, for Eboni it means moving away from her friends, her crush Vincent, and everything she has ever known. {SOURCE}
I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK. WE NEED MORE BOOKS TO UPLIFT OUR YOUTH. NOW I CAN PRETTY MUCH GUESS HOW THIS BOOK IS GOING TO GO BEING A CALI NATIVE. SHE IS GOING TO MOVE TO LA AND WILL SEE THAT SHE NOW LIVES IN A SKINNY SUPERFICIAL WORLD. MO’NIQUE ARE YOU SURE THIS BOOK ISN’T ABOUT KRYS NICOLE? LOL!
