The stunning sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Dear
Martin. Incarcerated teen Quan writes letters to Justyce about his
experiences in the American juvenile justice system. Perfect for fans
of Jason Reynolds and Angie Thomas.**
In the highly anticipated sequel to her New York Times bestseller, Nic
Stone delivers an unflinching look into the flawed practices and
silenced voices in the American juvenile justice system.
Vernell LaQuan Banks and Justyce McAllister grew up a block apart in the
Southwest Atlanta neighborhood of Wynwood Heights. Years later, though,
Justyce walks the illustrious halls of Yale University . . . and Quan
sits behind bars at the Fulton Regional Youth Detention Center.
Through a series of flashbacks, vignettes, and letters to Justyce--the
protagonist of Dear Martin--Quan's story takes form. Troubles at home
and misunderstandings at school give rise to police encounters and tough
decisions. But then there's a dead cop and a weapon with Quan's prints
on it. What leads a bright kid down a road to a murder charge? Not even
Quan is sure.
"A powerful, raw, must-read told through the lens of a Black boy
ensnared by our broken criminal justice system." -Kirkus, Starred
