by Wayne on June 13th, 2008, 10:27pm
Friendship. Love. Family. School. Life. Drama. It’s all here. We’ve got it covered from the city to the suburbs and every where in between. Reflecting your dreams. Your issues. In your voice. Groundbreaking young-adult fiction, Kimani TRU focuses on the triumphs and obstacles of today’s African-American and multi-cultural youth with wit and realism.
You've come to the perfect place to discuss the TRU books and the authors...Of course, we'll get a few of those talented authors to drop by so you can ask them all about their work and what's on the horizon.

Welcome...
Hi All
I'm Wayne, the host of the Kimani Press Community and by extension, your host here in the Kimani Books Club. I'm a High School Literature teacher so I know all about the 'boring' books you're forced to read....but reading them is important. I want you to get good grades...
But this forum is for you to discuss the Kimani books you've been reading....so feel free to ask me questions about the authors, their books...especially the upcoming ones.

My favorite from Kimani Tru
My favorite of the series (and i've read all except 2 since the june book) would be Fast Life. It was so crazy you didn't know what happened next. It was one of those can't put it down books. And it had me from the begining. M second favorite would have to be The Pact because it had me out of my seat. One minute it would be calm then the next something crazy would happen.
