CONCRETE ROSE - ANGIE THOMAS GEBUNDEN

International phenomenon Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events
of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood. A
Printz Honor Book! If there's one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows  it's that a
real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend  Mav does that the only
way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom  who works
two jobs while his dad's in prison. Life's not perfect  but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin
who always has his back  Mav's got everything under control. Until  that is  Maverick finds out
he's a father. Suddenly he has a baby  Seven  who depends on him for everything. But it's not
so easy to sling dope  finish school  and raise a child. So when he's offered the chance to go
straight  he takes it. In a world where he's expected to amount to nothing  maybe Mav can prove
he's different. When King Lord blood runs through your veins  though  you can't just walk away.
Loyalty  revenge  and responsibility threaten to tear Mav apart  especially after the brutal
murder of a loved one. He'll have to figure out for himself what it really means to be a man.
