Angie Thomas
2017 · 451 pages · 30 reviews
Others: Overwhelmingly positiveThe Hate U Give is a 2017 young adult novel by Angie Thomas. It is Thomas's debut novel, expanded from a short story she wrote in college in reaction to the police shooting of Oscar Grant. The book is narrated by Starr Carter, a 16-year-old black girl from a poor neighborhood who attends an elite private school in a predominantly white, affluent part of the city. Starr becomes entangled in a national news story after she witnesses a white police officer shoot and kill her childhood friend, Khalil. She speaks up about the shooting in increasingly public ways, and social tensions culminate in a riot after a grand jury decides not to indict the police officer for the shooting. The Hate U Give was published on February 28, 2017, by HarperCollins imprint Balzer + Bray, which had won a bidding war for the rights to the novel. The book was a commercial success, debuting at number one on The New York Times young adult best-seller list, where it remained for 50 weeks. It won several awards and received critical praise for Thomas's writing and timely subject matter. In writing the novel, Thomas attempted to expand readers' understanding of the Black Lives Matter movement as well as difficulties faced by black Americans who employ code switching. These themes, as well as the vulgar language, attracted some controversy and caused the book to be one of the most challenged books of 2017 and 2018 according to the American Library Association.

Loved it
Loved itit's just a super cool story and an interesting concept I will say it's not entirely the most unique but I think it is unique in the fact that you're competing to get this cure instead of like the whole Hunger Games thing and also in the fact that it has these little creatures that are helping you along the way I really liked this book and I think you would like it too

Loved itmy number three book is fire and flood by Victoria Scott I loved this book I flew through it is basically a mix of The Hunger Games and Pokémon or Jeff also says his dark materials is that what it's called basically these people are put into a kind of like a race a competition and they're each given a Pandora which is like a little animal companion who has like little magic powers so it's amazing highly recommend
