Heartbreakingly topical.?Publishers Weekly (starred review) Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves
between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school
she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the
fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Concrete
Rose 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. 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. 4
