The Hood Got Nothing On School is a fun, sassy new series aimed at teen readers. It’s the start of a new term at Drama High and Jayd Jackson’s learning that life in the ‘hood is nothing compared to life in high school! 16-year-old Jayd Jackson is nobody’s fool. Street-smart, book-smart and life-smart, she knows when someone’s trying to jack her, or just plain play her - even someone as fine as her (ex) man KJ. And she knows how to survive the streets of Compton. The girl’s got it going on. What she doesn’t know is how to play the game at South Bay High - a.k.a Drama High - a white school in Los Angeles where the kids keep looking at Jayd as though she is looking to steal one of their rides. And that’s only the beginning. After a summer of bliss kicking it with KJ, Jayd returns to South Bay High for what she hopes will be a drama-free year. But her first day back finds her former best friend, Misty, out to get her; KJ, after dumping her, being a bigger punk than ever; and Tracee, KJ’s new girlfriend, looking to knock Jayd out. With the drama at an all-time high, Jayd, with a little help from Mama and her magic bag of tricks, starts learning who’s really got her back - and, more importantly, when to watch it for herself.
