keysha's drama

Keysha's Drama is a wonderful book filled with all kinds of drama. It keeps me wide awake every time I turn the page. Especially in the beginning when she talks about how she rips a chunk of Ronnie's hair out because of her broken heart. Her mom is a young enough to be her sister and doesn't act her age. Keysha can never depend on her and she is always tearing her down emotionally. Keysha's  friend Toya has her priorities set in all the wrong places with a baby named Junior. Her baby's daddy is a broke down thug that snoops around with another girl that gets Toya in a fierce fight. Personally, I think the girl got the best of Toya because she came home with scratches all on her body and her cloths and her hair tore up. Keysha is having problems and starts stressing out about school because she isn't prepared. Her mom doesn't have the money for her but she has the money to go out to the club. To make matters even worse she brings home a strange man named Simon back from the club. He assumes that he knows Keysha's father which gets Keysha upset.(He might know her father but I don't know that because I'm only on chapter 8.) So after that, she didn't see her mother for 3 days, but that's another story. Toya suggests that they go out "boosting". Keysha has second thoughts about this because Toya thinks about bringing Junior in it. but they end up doing it any way. So they go out to Carson Pirie Scott mall and everything is going fine. But then Toya gets caught with the baby and is arrested. Keysha is left in the middle and doesn't know what to do. Well she follows her gut and leaves Toya hangen. Toya is left scared and doesn't know what to do bacause there is an eviction notice on her and door and her mom is no where to be found. Then after a day at school she saw Toya and they almost got in a fight! But Toya did give Keysha a nasty cut! Toya tells Keysha tha she saw her mom in jail, thats why she hasn't been there. So then a lady from the government takes Keysha away! now she comes close to finding her father...........

  1. Toya sounds like a handful! Remember that the act of writing about the book as you are is improving your literacy skills. And you sound like you are enjoying the experience at the same time!
