From NAACP Award–winning author Omar Tyree—the iconic New York Times bestselling coming-of-age novel that follows the original Flyy Girl, Tracy Ellison, from childhood through her teenage years as she navigates friendship, love, and self-discovery in 1980s Philadelphia.
A head-turning young woman with hazel eyes, big hair, and a bold attitude, Tracy Ellison is spoiled, sassy, and eager to grow up. With an appetite for luxury and attention, Tracy spends her days enticing and rejecting the young men in her neighborhood who will do anything for her affection. But with each passing year, the stakes in the game get higher and Tracy realizes how she has put her heart and her life at risk. As she gets older, Tracy reassesses her life, her ambitions, and her identity as she figures out if she has what it takes to transform from a Flyy Girl into a woman of substance.
With a fresh look for a new generation, this timeless tale is filled with unforgettable characters that perfectly capture the excitement and uncertainty of young adulthood. The first in a captivating trilogy that is as fun and relevant to read now as it was back in the day, Flyy Girl is poised to cement its status as an urban classic.
