Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.

Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalils name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.

But what Starr doesor does notsay could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

Review(s):
As we continue to fight the battle against police brutality and systemic racism in America, THE HATE U GIVE serves as a much needed literary ramrod. Absolutely riveting!
Angie Thomas has written a stunning, brilliant, gut-wrenching novel that will be remembered as a classic of our time.
Fearlessly honest and heartbreakingly human. Everyone should read this book.
This is tragically timely, hard-hitting, and an ultimate prayer for change. Dont look away from this searing battle for justice. Rally with Starr.
With smooth but powerful prose delivered in Starrs natural, emphatic voice, finely nuanced characters, and intricate and realistic relationship dynamics, this novel will have readers rooting for Starr and opening their hearts to her friends and family. This story is necessary. This story is important.
Though Thomass story is heartbreakingly topical, its greatest strength is in its authentic depiction of a teenage girl, her loving family, and her attempts to reconcile what she knows to be true about their lives with the way those lives are depictedand completely undervaluedby society at large.
Beautifully written in Starrs authentic first-person voice, this is a marvel of verisimilitude as it insightfully examines two worlds in collision. An inarguably important book that demands the widest possible readership.
Pair this powerful debut with Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kielys ALL AMERICAN BOYS to start a conversation on racism, police brutality, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Hate U Give is an important and timely novel that reflects the world todays teens inhabit. Starrs struggles create a complex character, and Thomas boldly tackles topics like racism, gangs, police violence, and interracial dating. This topical, necessary story is highly recommended for all libraries.
Thomas has penned a powerful, in-your-face novel that will similarly galvanize fans of Kekla Magoons How It Went Down and Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kielys All American Boys.
