Starr si muove tra due mondi: abita in un quartiere di colore dove imperversano le gang ma frequenta una scuola prestigiosa, soprattutto per volere della madre, determinata a costruire un futuro migliore per i suoi figli. Vive quasi una doppia vita, a metà tra gli amici di infanzia e i nuovi compagni. Questo fragile equilibrio va in frantumi quando Starr assiste all'uccisione di Khalil, il suo migliore amico, per mano della polizia. Ed era disarmato. Il caso conquista le prime pagine dei giornali. C'è chi pensa che Khalil fosse un poco di buono, perfino uno spacciatore, il membro di una gang e che, in fin dei conti, se lo sia meritato. Quando appare chiaro che la polizia non ha alcun interesse a chiarire l'episodio, la protesta scende in strada e il quartiere di Starr si trasforma in teatro di guerriglia. C'è una cosa che tutti vogliono sapere: cos'è successo davvero …

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.
