The story follows 16-year-old Starr, who lives in two different worlds: the poor neighborhood she grew up in and her expensive suburban school. The fragile balance between them is shattered when Starr becomes the sole witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. What Starr says could destroy her community, but it could also endanger her life.
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping YA novel about a girl's struggle for justice.
