The Hate U Give
By Angie ThomasThe Hate U Give is a powerful, thought-provoking novel that tackles issues of racism, police brutality, and activism. Told from the perspective of 16-year-old Starr Carter, who witnesses the shooting of her childhood friend Khalil by a police officer, the book explores racism and injustice in America. Starr must navigate two vastly different worlds - the poor, predominantly Black neighborhood where she lives, and the fancy suburban prep school she attends.
