I'll never give up. I'll never be quiet. I promise.
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor
neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she
attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr
witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the
hands of a police officer.
This paperback edition includes a foreword from actor Amandla Stenberg
and an antiracism guide.
Concrete Rose
Beauty can come from much of nothing.
Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events
of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black
boyhood and manhood.
If there's one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it's that
a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend,
Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords.
With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad's
in prison.
