A powerful and brave YA novel about what prejudice looks like in the 21st century.
A stunning, brilliant, gut-wrenching novel that will be remembered as a classic of our time. John Green No. 1 New York Times bestseller. Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping YA novel about one girl's struggle for justice. Movie rights have been sold to Fox, with Amandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games) to star.

Děkuju za náhled do světa, který se zdá tak moc odlišný od toho středo evropsky pohodlného, a přitom je to pořád jeden svět. Lidi na jedný planetě v roce 2018. Je to smutný až absurdně směšný na jak moc vyspělou civilizaci si hrajeme se všemi těmi technologiemi, samoříditelnými auty, bitcoiny, roboty skoro nerozeznatelnými od lidí a přitom, se klidně promine zavraždění šestnáctiletého kluka. Kdyby ten kluk byl bílej a zastřelil ho černoch policista, jak by asi ten policista dopadl? Ani nemusim rozebírat. Všichni to asi tak nějak víme. A jediný co po vás chci, nesuďte lidi podle barev. Suďte je podle toho, jaký jsou.
