From award-winning, bestselling author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform activist
Yusef Salaam of the Exonerated Five comes a powerful YA novel in verse about a
boy who is wrongfully incarcerated. Perfect for fans of the Noughts &
Crosses series and The Hate U Give.
One fateful night, an altercation in a gentrifying neighbourhood escalates into
tragedy. 'Boys just being boys' turns out to be true only when those boys are
white.
Suddenly, at just sixteen years old, Amal Shahid's bright future is upended: he
is convicted of a crime he didn't commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage
almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words, his art. This never
should have been his story. But can he change it?
With spellbinding lyricism, award-winning author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform
activist Yusef Salaam tell a moving and deeply profound story about how one boy
is able to maintain his humanity and fight for the truth, in a system designed
to strip him of both.
