Yowza!

The story is about a girl named Nia who feels like an ousider at her all white school. And the only friends she has is a boy named Marcus Garvey Williams. But when he suddenly dissapears, Nia gets in a fist-fight with a student defending his name. Now Nia dosn't no what to do with her life now that she is suspended. Do you think Nia is going to get her life back on track? To find out that question read, "Where Did I Go From Here". I really liked this book because the author really knows how to relate to people and she was really straight forward and didn't hold anything back. Books related to this is "Bud Not Buddy". Because his parents left him when he was a baby and now since he lives with his grandmother he dosn't know what to do with his life eathier just like Nia.

Where do I go From Here?

Things at Endicott Academy were never freat but thy wern't exactly horrible, either. Nia didn't really feel comfortable at the academy. She didn't fit. This book is belivably intresting and satisfying! Tis novel by Valerie Wesley is a fun, entertaining...read for the young adult.i think that you should read this book!

A great interesting , realistic novel for book lovers!

Imagine having to leave your home and go off to a school where there are not many of your kind. Nia had to go through that. The novel, Where Do I Go From Here?, by Valerie Wilson Wesley, is about a black girl who had to leave and go to a highschool where she feels like an outsider. Nia wasn't nich nor was she white like many other people at her school. Nia found a friend, Marcus Garvey Willians, who was like her. Even though Marcus is black he has found a way to fit in and still be himself. I give is novel five stars because it is interesting and realistic. As one of the characters, Nia has to be the most exciting. Nia wasn't interesring because she was blowing up someone's house or anything. The story was just as exciting as an action packed book, but in a different way. Nia was interesting because of the kind of person she was. At the end Marcus helped Nia realize the importance of her life, and also gain a new respect for it.
