![]() In the first fifty pages of this book, Starr and her friend Kahlil leave a party in their neighborhood, get pulled over by a white police officer who asks Kahlil to step out of the car, Kahlil goes to ask Starr if she is okay and the police office shoots Kahlil three times in the back. This book is about Starr Carter and the aftermath of her friend's death. She decides what to do with her witness testimony and how she can fight with her words. Everybody recommended this book to me. Several of my student book groups have read and raved about this book. It did not disappoint. Thomas' characters are relatable and dynamic. She addresses a multitude of social and cultural issues through a graceful and powerful narrator. I will see the movie adaptation soon and I can only hope it gets close to the original.
