Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the elegant suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is definitely shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal capturing of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a officer. Khalil was unarmed.
Quickly afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are phoning him a thug, maybe even a medication dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the neighborhood drug lord make an effort to intimidate Starr and her family members. What everyone really wants to know is normally: what actually transpired that night? And the just person alive who are able to answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does-or does not-say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
And do not miss Over the APPEAR, Angie Thomas’s powerful follow-up towards the Hate U Give.
