  “"Freshman Focus" the first book in the Carter G. Woodson series by Carla R. Sarratt. "Freshman Focus" takes you into the school life of of Kendra, Lamar, Destiny, Steven. It shows African-American families growing up on the same street, playing together as babies, the friendships, the sense and importance of family from the African-American perspective.
  It is refreshing to read an excellent book about African-American families growing up with the normal challenges of life, a chance to reflect on your own high school days through the lives of Kendra, Lamar, Cidney, Destiny and Steven.
  
  I can't wait for the second book in the series due out in 2008.

  “A brand new group of students entire into the world of HS and many lessons are still to be learned, not just the things they are taught in the classroom, but the things they learn about life outside the school and their home life. New bounds and new lifelong friendships are made. Each chapter had a little information from African American history that many might not know, because they were not taught it. Adults and teenagers alike can will really enjoy this. I understand that it is the first in a series.”
