Then tragedy strikes Nia, and Bobby finds himself in the role of single, teenage father. Because his child, their child, is all that remains of his lost love. With powerful language and keen insight, Johnson tells the story of a young man's struggle to figure out what the "right thing" is and then to do it. The result is a gripping portrayal of single teenage parenthood from the point of view of a youth on the threshold of becoming a man. Angela Johnson's The First Part Last won the 2004 Michael L. Printz Award, which is bestowed upon a book that exemplifies literary excellence in young adult literature. Critic Reviews: "Brief, poetic, and absolutely riveting, this gem of a novel tells the story of a young father struggling to raise an infant." (School Library Journal)
