Perfect for fans of The Hate U Give, this unforgettable
coming-of-age debut novel is a unflinching exploration of race,
class, and violence as well as the importance of being true to
yourself. Los Angeles, 1992 Ashley Bennett and her friends are
living the charmed life. It's the end of high school and they're
spending more time at the beach than in the classroom. They can
already feel the sunny days and endless possibilities of summer.
But everything changes one afternoon in April, when four police
officers are acquitted after beating a black man named Rodney King
half to death. Suddenly, Ashley's not just one of the girls. She's
one of the black kids. As violent protests engulf LA and the city
burns, Ashley tries to continue on as if life were normal. Even as
her self-destructive sister gets dangerously involved in the riots.
Even as the model black family facade her wealthy and prominent
parents have built starts to crumble. Even as her best friends help
spread a rumor that could completely derail the future of her
classmate and fellow black kid, LaShawn Johnson. With her world
splintering around her, Ashley, along with the rest of LA, is left
to question who is the us? And who is the them? Praise for The
Black Kids: 'Should be required reading in every classroom' - Nic
Stone, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin 'A
prescient coming-of-age debut' - Elle.com
