My students ADORE Tears of a Tiger. They enjoy the different writing formats, the pace, the "believableness" of the storyline, and that almost all of the characters are Black. We proceeded to read the entire trilogy. As an English teacher, I was delighted with the hunger with which my students consumed these books. Furthermore, we had real-life conversations about drinking, driving, looking for support from others, not being "shut down" by adults who don't hear us, and better, realistic options to being compelled to make irreversible life choices. This book changed how many students felt about "having" to read.
