I just went to a few street lit sessions at the Black Caucus of ALA (American Library Association) that were truly fascinating, and Tyrell was one of the books the panel recommended for teens (since it's a much lighter version of true street lit). I think through the sessions my views on promoting street lit really changed. I can think of so many teens I would recommend Tyrell to, and I think I'll also try to read Booth's next book, Kendra.
