The Hate U Give
This book is a must read. For everyone. Starr is a black girl living in two worlds. Her home is in the Garden Heights area, it's where her father's store is. But her school is in a fancy, mostly white neighborhood. She has to be two Starrs to fit in. When her best friend from way back is shot and killed by the police, Starr is the only witness. She and her family must decide if she is going to use her voice to speak for Khalil or stay safe and remain quiet. This book was eye opening, relevant and heartbreaking. Its perspective is important and thought provoking. It should be required reading in every police academy. It should be required reading for everyone. Can't recommend it enough and my words won't do it justice. Trust me, take the time and then take heart. Happy reading my friends.
