This young adult novel addresses issues of racism and police violence as witnessed by Starr, a 16-year-old girl who navigates between her poverty-stricken neighborhood and the wealthy suburban prep school she attends. Things change for Starr when she witnesses the fatal shooting of a friend by a police officer. The Hate U Give has been the target of being challenged since its publication in 2017.
