The 57 Bus: A True Story of Two Teenagers and the Crime That Changed Their Lives Audiobook (Free)

This riveting non-fiction book for teens about race, class, gender, crime, and punishment tells the true story of an agender teen who was simply set burning by another teen while riding a bus in Oakland, California. One teenager in a skirt. One teenager with a lighter. One instant that adjustments both of their lives forever. If it weren’t for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard hardly ever would have fulfilled. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most varied cities in the united states, however they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teenager, resided in the middle-class foothills and attended a small personal college. Richard, a dark teen, resided in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large general public one. Each day, their pathways overlapped for a mere eight mins. But one afternoon on the bus trip home from college, an individual reckless act left Sasha severely burnt, and Richard charged with two hate offences and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight.
