Product Description:
Brimming with the same spirited sense of style and magic as Disney's That's So Raven, Drama High introduces a fun, brazen new series featuring a young sistah who's learning that life in the `hood is nothing compared to life in high school...
Proudly hailing from Compton, USA, sixteen-year-old Jayd Jackson is no stranger to drive-by shootings or run-ins with the friendly neighborhood crackhead. Street-smart, book-smart, and life-smart, she's nobody's fool--least of all KJ's, the most popular and cutest basketball jock at South Bay High, aka Drama High. Yes, it's a fact, Jayd fell hard for his player ways for a time, but now that KJ's shown his true colors--dumping Jayd because she refused to give up the cookies--she's through with him and his game playing for good.
Jayd just wants to start her Junior year of high school drama free. But wanting ain't getting, especially at a place like Drama High, a predominately white high school in a wealthy part of Los Angeles, where Jayd and 30 other Compton kids get bussed to daily. Saying race relations aren't what they should be would be putting it mildly, and that's just the beginning of the drama. Jayd's very first day back to school, KJ's new girlfriend, Trecee, steps to her wanting to fight. Egged on by Misty, Jayd's former best friend-turned-nemesis, Trecee wants to make Jayd understand that KJ is off limits--even if she has to do it with her fists. With the fight set for Friday, and the sistah drama at an all time high, Jayd is about to learn who's really got her back and more importantly, when she's got to watch it. But at least she can always count on Mama, and her mystical bag of tricks.
Drama High is a remarkably assured debut, and L. Divine is a tantalizing and refreshing new voice. Jayd and her bold, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny assessment of life, along with her quirky cast of friends, classmates, loves, her magical family and eccentric neighbors make for an irresistible, can't-put-it-down read.

Now, here's a book that really tells what is goin on in High School!!! Honestly, if a boy gonna do you like that, kick him to the curb let him drool over all the other girls he wants 'cause he ain't worth it. But anyway the magical potions and stuff was a lil wierd but the story really got into what goes in in between the walls of any highschool!!!

My 15 year old daughter who loves to read, read this book in one day. She said that it kept her attention and she did not want to put it down until she finished. She is begging me to purchase the others in the series, which I will. I love being able to provide her with books about african american teenagers, such as she, and I especially love it when she says the books met her expectations and was a good book.

Sixteen-year old Compton native Jayd Jackson attends the predominately white South Bay High school. As with most high schools, the campus is crawling with cliques, catty girls and young guys with raging hormones. Jayd is anticipating a drama-free school year, but finds she is in the midst of the drama with her relationship with her boyfriend, KJ. She discovers he is seeing other girls because he is not pleased with her decision not to go all the way with him. As a result, she finds herself being an unwilling opponent in a fight.
DRAMA HIGH: The Fight is L. Divine's very first novel in the Drama High series. Filled with all the elements that make for a good book - young love, non-stop drama and a taste of the supernatural, it is sure to please. The author has a refreshing voice that young readers as well as adults can relate to. I read this book simultaneously with my teenage daughter, and although she said that is not the way teens talk, she enjoyed the book as much as I did. This novel comes highly recommended, and I look forward to the additional books in the series.

Jayd Jackson is a `rebel with a mouth,' street smart, book smart and wise about the games guys play. Jayd is still a typical girl and she fell for one of the cutest, more popular guys at South Bay High. KJ was the nicest, most considerate boyfriends a girl could want. That is until it came time for the cookie distribution. Translation, Jayd wasn't ready for sex so Mr. Considerate moved on to the subsequent chick.
It's the very first week of school and drama seems to be lurking all around Jayd as she tries to deal with her classes, her family and her very first broken heart. It would be simpler if she knew precisely who was and wasn't her friend. Misty has been posing as a friend for far too long and now that Trecee is in Jayd's face about KJ, her ex, she knows that some type of way Misty is caught in the middle, but how, she isn't certain.
Drama High: The Fight was initially purchased for my younger cousin. I usually pre-read anything I'm considering for her because of the content some authors deem age appropriate. Though I believe that this is some mess that high schoolers unfortunately are locked into, I have to say that the whole potions and cleansings were too much for me. Even with all of that, I think Drama High: The Fight truly reps what high school is like.

I AM SO MAD ABOUT THIS BOOK. THE TITLE DREW ME TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK AND THERE WAS NO DRAMA LIKE I WANTED. THERE WAS MORE RITUALS THAN ANYTHING. IN HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA WAS MORE INTENSE THAN WHAT I READ. IT WAS NOT TO HOT TO ME.
