Seller Description
Book has minor bend in the bottom of the spine as shown, and curling in the inside dust cover, as shown. Is unread and otherwise in great condition. 16-year-old Start Carter moves between two worlds, the poor black neighborhood where she lives in the fancy suburban 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. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, Khalil‘s death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Starr’s best friend at school suggest he may have had it coming. When it becomes clear the police have little interest in investigating the incident, protesters take to the streets and Starr’s neighborhood becomes a war zone. What everyone wants to know this, what really went on that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does or does not say could destroy her community. It could also endanger her life. Angie Thomas’s searing debut about an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances addresses issues of racism and police violence with intelligence, heart, and unflinching honesty.
