""A powerful classroom novel. '95 speaks to students who live between cultures and dreams, reminding them that every choice writes its own story."" - Educator Review, Grand Prairie ISD ""If The Outsiders grew up on '90s hip-hop and Sunday reflections, it would sound like '95. Gritty, soulful, and unforgettable."" - Early Reviewer, YA Street Lit Journal
