An excellent book based on an event from 2013 in California. The chapters are short and the reader is really drawn into the story. A terrible decision by one teenager causes horrible pain to another. Empathy is a major theme in the story of the black teenager charged with assault and hate crimes against an agender teen.
Kirkus calls it “an outstanding book” and SLJ calls it “a complete and layered tale.”
Students will be able to explore race, gender, justice, morality and forgiveness.
