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.
