HE SAID, SHE SAID by Kwame Alexander
Sparks will fly in this hip-hop-hot teen novel that mixes social protest and star-crossed romance! He Said, She Said is perfect for fans of Walter Dean Myers and Rachel Vail alike.
He says: Omar "T-Diddy" Smalls has got it made—a full football ride to UMiami, hero-worship status at school, and pick of any girl at West Charleston High.
She says: Football, shmootball. Here's what Claudia Clarke cares about: Harvard, the poor, the disenfranchised, the hungry, the staggering teen pregnancy rate, investigative journalism . . . the list goes on. She does not have a minute to waste on Mr. T-Diddy Smalls and his harem of bimbos.
He Said, She Said is a fun and fresh novel from Kwame Alexander that throws these two high school seniors together when they unexpectedly end up leading the biggest social protest this side of the Mississippi—with a lot of help from Facebook and Twitter.
The stakes are high, the romance is hot, and when these worlds collide, watch out!

This one sounds like it could be a popular read in schools. And I trust you had bog fun at Disney! I haven't been there since my boys were tots, but I have fond memories of it. Especially the bird kingdom area.
I meant BIG fun, not bog fun! Even though a lot of Florida is swampland. Which reminds me, our trip to the Everglades was amazing. Ever been there?
I haven't been to the Everglades. I don't like things like bugs (mosquitoes, spiders, etc.), so I tend to avoid places like the Everglades. I know... I'm a bad Floridian!
