\n A 2016 Coretta Scott King Author Honor book, and recipient of the Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Children\u2019s Literature. <\/p>\n

In this New York Times bestselling novel, two teens\u2014one black, one white\u2014grapple with the repercussions of a single violent act that leaves their school, their community, and, ultimately, the country bitterly divided by racial tension.<\/p>\n

A bag of chips. That\u2019s all sixteen-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad\u2019s pleadings that he\u2019s stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad\u2019s resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad\u2019s every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered. But how can you stay still when someone is pounding your face into the concrete pavement?<\/p>\n

There were witnesses: Quinn Collins\u2014a varsity basketball player and Rashad\u2019s classmate who has been raised by Paul since his own father died in Afghanistan\u2014and a video camera. Soon the beating is all over the news and Paul is getting threatened with accusations of prejudice and racial brutality. Quinn refuses to believe that the man who has basically been his savior could possibly be guilty. But then Rashad is absent. And absent again. And again. And the basketball team\u2014half of whom are Rashad\u2019s best friends\u2014start to take sides. As does the school. And the town. Simmering tensions threaten to explode as Rashad and Quinn are forced to face decisions and consequences they had never considered before.<\/p>\n

Written in tandem by two award-winning authors, this four-starred reviewed tour de force shares the alternating perspectives of Rashad and Quinn as the complications from that single violent moment, the type taken directly from today\u2019s headlines, unfold and reverberate to highlight an unwelcome truth.
