1. Joe Ide/IQ five book series

Feb 2025

First title published 2016.

South LA hood. Cars, rap, guns, drugs. Church. Fried chicken.

Good people trying to live a life.

IQ is super brainy teen who helps neighbors with lost cats, violent boyfriends, and all manner of situations no one else will take on.

Read in order or you’ll be overwhelmed by the fast pace and characters ups and downs and hook-ups.

Glad I read it, like a secret treasure hidden on the back of the bookshelf.
