The Hate U Give

Overview

Starr, a 16-year-old girl from a struggling neighborhood, navigates life at a predominantly white suburban prep school. Her world shatters when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend by a police officer. Caught between her two contrasting environments, Starr grapples with the weight of her experience and the need to find her voice. As tensions rise, she must confront issues of race, identity, and the importance of speaking out against injustice, all while balancing the expectations of her community and her education.
