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. Khalil was unarmed.\n \nSoon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. \n \nBut what Starr does--or does not--say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.\n \nAnd don't miss On the Come Up, Angie Thomas's powerful follow-up to The Hate U Give.\n
