The Hate U Give

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she lives and the suburban prep school where she is one of a handful of Black students. When she is the only witness to a police officer shooting her unarmed childhood friend, both worlds come apart. Angie Thomas’s debut sat on the bestseller list for years. It was an Our Shared Shelf pick for May 2018, chosen by member vote.
