The stunning sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Dear Martin. Incarcerated teen Quan
writes letters to Justyce about his experiences in the American juvenile justice system.
Perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Angie Thomas. In the highly anticipated sequel to her
New York Times bestseller Nic Stone delivers an unflinching look into the flawed practices and
silenced voices in the American juvenile justice system. Vernell LaQuan Banks and Justyce
McAllister grew up a block apart in the Southwest Atlanta neighborhood of Wynwood Heights.
Years later though Justyce walks the illustrious halls of Yale University . . . and Quan sits
behind bars at the Fulton Regional Youth Detention Center. Through a series of flashbacks
vignettes and letters to Justyce--the protagonist of Dear Martin--Quan's story takes form.
Troubles at home and misunderstandings at school give rise to police encounters and tough
decisions. But then there's a dead cop and a weapon with Quan's prints on it. What leads a
bright kid down a road to a murder charge? Not even Quan is sure. A powerful raw must-read
told through the lens of a Black boy ensnared by our broken criminal justice system. -Kirkus
