This story is necessary.

This story is important." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for THE HATE U GIVE: "Though Thomas's story is heartbreakingly topical, its greatest strength is in its authentic depiction of a teenage girl, her loving family, and her attempts to reconcile what she knows to be true about their lives with the way those lives are depicted--and completely undervalued--by society at large." - Publishers Weekly (starred review).
