Movie tie-in edition of the No. 1 New York Times bestseller and Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner, now a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox, starring Amandla Stenberg.
Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed.
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping novel about one girl's struggle for justice.
Milan, 1497. The height of the Renaissance. And for Giacomo,
servant of the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci, it's the most
difficult time of all. His Master has been working on the "Last
Supper," his greatest painting ever, for nearly two years. But has
he finished it? He's barely started! The all-powerful Duke of Milan
is demanding that it be completed by the time the Pope visits at
Easter. And Giacomo knows that if Leonardo doesn't pick up his
pace, the Duke may invite a young genius -- Michelangelo -- to
finish the painting instead. Which means that Leonardo won't be
paid, which means that Milan's shopkeepers (to whom he owes massive
amounts) will take drastic measures against him.
It's all down to Giacomo, and whether he can come up with a
brilliant solution. And if he does, will his Master go for it?
After all, Leonardo still doesn't seem to trust him. He refuses to
teach Giacomo how to paint; he won't help him find his parents; nor
will he discuss the significance of the medallion, ring, and cross
that Giacomo was carrying when Leonardo found him. But with the
secret arrival of a powerful stranger, Giacomo is about to discover
much more than the answers he has been looking for. And he will
also receive an invitation to help arrange a meeting that could
change his life. . . and the future course of history.
With more twists and turns than a spiral staircase, this
thriller is as unique as its two heroes -- the most celebrated
artist who ever lived, and a young man without a past, who will
stop at nothing to find the truth about his life.
