I'm the wonderful age of 17 and live in the great state of Texas, and I've always loved that books provoked ideas, imagination and creativity. I began my love for reading at a young age and I have to thank my mom for instilling my literary habit. I am incredibly excited to share my own thoughts and opinions about books and I am equally excited to start this new chapter as a member of Teenreads.

I am a senior in high school and I am heavily involved with school activities. I have a twin sister and I live in a town that shares its border with Mexico. I have a wide variety of interests that include art, photography, poetry, sports, reading and everything in between.

Juba!

Walter Dean Myers' last novel is based on the true story of the meteoric rise of an immensely talented young black dancer, William Henry Lane, who influenced today's tap, jazz and step dancing. With meticulous and intensive research, Myers has brought to life Master Juba's story. The book includes photographs, maps and other images from Juba's time and an afterword from Myers' wife about the writing process of JUBA!
