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 Khalil’s 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 does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
And don't miss On the Come Up, Angie Thomas's powerful follow-up to The Hate U Give.
Want more of Garden Heights? Catch Maverick and Seven’s story in Concrete Rose, ngie Thomas's powerful prequel to The Hate U Give.

Jeg forventet slett ikke å falle for denne boka, men ble raskt sugd inn i karakteren og hennes verden. Svært gode skildringer og enda bedre relasjonesbeskrivelser. Troverdige mennesker, realistiske hendelser, vond og god på samme tid.

Bærer preg av å være en ungdomsbok, men la ikke det stoppe deg fra å høre. Forfriskende og sterkt, men en fantastisk innleser!

A fantastic story where you get insight in the life of a brave, intelligent and well spoken teenager. African American Starr experiences things most of us can’t imagine, and we get to know her family, friends and the community she lives in. BLM, police brutality, identity, poverty, racism, dual consciousness are amongst the themes in this book. It’s a tragic but important story to share. The book is especially relevant for educational purposes, and suitable for students from 13 and older. The film is very true to the written story, and equally recommended.
