The Hate U Give (Prebound)

Staff Reviews

Teenaged Starr Carter rotates between two worlds - the poor, black neighborhood where she lives, and the rich, white high school she attends - and is acutely aware of how she changes as she passes between them. When her childhood best friend, Khalil, is murdered by a policeman before her eyes, Starr becomes a witness to a crime that headlines national news and throws her neighborhood -and her double life- into turmoil. As Starr confronts injustice with the law, she also challenges it in her social life, bravely soldering into a heroine whose greatest strength is her voice.
