Nina Simone

    Cette artiste, connue sous son nom de scène, fut une chanteuse, compositrice et pianiste américaine, ainsi qu'une figure centrale du mouvement des droits civiques. Bien qu'elle ait résisté à la catégorisation, sa musique couvrait le jazz, la soul, le folk, le R&B, le gospel et la pop, le tout ancré dans une formation classique. Son style vocal distinctif se caractérisait par une passion intense et une large tessiture, capable de passer avec fluidité d'émotions de joie exubérante à une mélancolie tragique. Sa musique et son message ont laissé une empreinte indélébile sur la culture afro-américaine, continuant d'influencer de nombreux artistes contemporains et étant fréquemment utilisée dans des bandes sonores et des remixes.

      Simone tells authentic stories of teen life in the 'hood better than any other author currently writing contemporary YA street lit. --Library Journal on Teenage Love Affair (starred review) True story: I'm Gem, G-E-M, like a precious jewel, and my life has been nothing like my name. I've been on my own since I was nine and now I'm sixteen. But so what. I'm good, and so is my little brother. So why the state won't let us do our own thing is beyond me. Instead, we've been forced to live with a foster family who wants to love us, but I'm not beat--I'm just trying to do me. To make matters worse, I've been checking for this guy, Ny'eem. But my new clique has an unbreakable rule--no boyz allowed to come between our friendship--which is forcing me to keep my relationship with Ny'eem a secret. Though not for long. . .because in high school secrets are always exposed, scandals always rewrite the rules, and friendships are never what they seem. . . . "Excitement, drama, and life lessons. . .. Upgrade U is sure to be a classic." --A.J. Byrd, author of Losing Romeo "A new series with a pair of drama-fueled stories about girls looking for love in all the wrong ways." --Publishers Weekly on The Break-Up Diaries
