Thanks fo sharing this wonderful WIKI. I, too, hadn't heard of Sharon Draper, althought the Ziggy series sounds a bit familiar. I enjoyed the bit in your intro as to how she was inspired to create the Sassy serioes. It is a genuin product for a specific group of readers that eagerly await her work. I love how she focuses on YA readers of color that go thorugh hardships that are specific to their culture.

I can see myself using these book for younger students, at the freshman level, in the school I work. It seems like she writes to facilitate YA into a reading habit- discussing issues that many can relate to.
