1º lugar na lista do New York Times. Uma história juvenil repleta de choques de realidade. Um livro contra o racismo em tempos tão cruéis e extremos

Starr aprendeu com os pais, ainda muito nova, como uma pessoa negra deve se comportar na frente de um policial.

Não faça movimentos bruscos.

Deixe sempre as mãos à mostra.

Só fale quando te perguntarem algo.

Seja obediente.

Quando ela e seu amigo, Khalil, são parados por uma viatura, tudo o que Starr espera é que Khalil também conheça essas regras. Um movimento errado, uma suposição e os tiros disparam. De repente o amigo de infância da garota está no chão, coberto de sangue. Morto.

Em luto, indignada com a injustiça tão explícita que presenciou e vivendo em duas realidades tão distintas (durante o dia, estuda numa escola cara, com colegas brancos e muito ricos - no fim da aula, volta para seu …

Absolutely outstanding book.

16-year old Starr Carter is a black teenager who goes to a white school. One night she is witness to a cop killing her friend Khalil for no reason, and this event changes her whole life.

Absolutely engaging cast of characters, told in a gripping way, wish every teenager read this book. Or anyone really.

I don't have the words to praise this book enough.

This story is about a girl who witnesses a traumatic event and in the end finds her voice is the best weapon she has to fight oppression. She and her family also learn that solidarity is stronger than silence and knuckling under to authority, whether gangs or police.

This young adult novel tells everything from Starr's point of view. Some internal dialog is great at establishing character and climate, describing her family or her school or her history. There are points when there is a little too much, though, and the book feels long at times.

That minor complaint aside, this book presents a strong female character who grows throughout the narrative. As mentioned above, her family also grows stronger. Contemporary situations and references and occasional humor are welcome, balancing the strong story of oppression. Recommended.
