Book Review: The Hate U Give

"The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas is perfect and timely and should be read by everyone. It is written from the perspective of a black teenage girl who witnessed not one, but two murders of close friends. Her best friend is shot in a drive by at age 10. Her friend Kahil is gunned down by police with Starr as the only witness.

And now Starr is faced with testifying to the grand jury. She is fearful of being labeled as the witness with gang members, yet wants to speak out and get justice for her friend.

It is a big, important subject.

Read it.
