The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter navigates two vastly different worlds: the poor, predominantly Black neighborhood she calls home and her affluent, mostly white prep school. This precarious balance is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her unarmed childhood best friend, Khalil, by a white police officer. The incident ignites a national firestorm, thrusting Starr into the spotlight as the sole witness. Facing mounting pressure from law enforcement, her community, and menacing local figures, Starr must find her voice and speak the truth, even if it means jeopardizing her own safety and future.
