Young Adult
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the
poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban
prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these
worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting
of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police
officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are
calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a
gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s
name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate
Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what
really went down that night? And the only person alive who
can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her
community. It could also endanger her life.
