Review
Readers of The Hate U Give will appreciate this take on issues of race in modern America. Prep school student, Justyce, gets caught up in an incident where he is racially profiled by police. Jus grapples with prejudice, classmates, and love while also writing in a journal to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr as a means of examining his race, his life, and his experiences. Classroom discussions in a history class drive much of the plot and allow Stone to share a variety of views related to race, affirmative action, and more.
Overall Book Score: very good
