The Hate U Give is a 2017 debut novel and New York Times bestseller by Angie Thomas. Readers get to live alongside 16-year-old Starr Carter as she navigates her urban neighborhood of Garden Heights and the suburban Williamson Prep, where she attends school. A police shooting of an unarmed childhood bestie brings Starr – and readers – up close to the police violence and everyday gun violence that plagues many black communities across the country. This text will provide a rich discussion opportunity for adult or young adult readers.
