Rach –
Perhaps it was all the hype this got in February, perhaps I had just had a spell of reading lots of thrillers, whatever the case I didn’t pick this book up for ages…well…that was a mistake because it’s INCREDIBLE.
A seriously gritty YA mystery about 3 boys who must investigate their principals Murder to clear their names. The novel is told through various different people and is guaranteed to keep you hooked until the last page.
An utterly fantastic thriller that shows how the system can often condemn black and Latino boys to failure before they’ve even had a chance to succeed.
Perfect for fans of Ace of Spades and The Hate You Give. Read it, read it, read it!
