Bronx Masquerade by Nikki Grimes
Eighteen sophomores in a high school English class in the Bronx. All different colors, from different backgrounds, with different histories, and different future plans. What brought them together? Poetry. Once a month, Mr. Ward hosts an Open Mike Friday for his students to share their poetry. It becomes so popular with the kids, that he makes it a weekly event. Some of the students find that the students who they think have it made, don't. Most just want to be seen for who they are, rather than what everyone sees on the outside.
