The Hate U Give

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves be- tween two worlds: the poor neighborhood she lives in and the suburban prep school she attends. That uneasy balance is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shoot- ing of her childhood best friend by a police officer. Khalil was unarmed, and soon his death is a national headline. Some call him a thug. Others take to the streets in Khalil's name. Everyone wants to know what really went down that night. Only one person can answer that. But what Starr says could up- end her community — and endanger her life.
