VERDICT This smart and courageous YA novel will open up a dialogue started by young voices who deserve to be heard. Readers will also be alarmed at the list of unarmed people of color killed by police in the United States, from March 2015 to the writing of this book. The book gives off an element of anticipation, which will cause readers to wonder the outcome of the comatose Tajon’s condition. Readers will appreciate the usage of multimedia, such as newspaper headlines, social media, and protest signs and posters. However, Pete’s nameless wife and Ashley and Zach’s mother are not as nuanced. The 10 teen writers of Beacon House have brilliantly crafted a YA book in which they take on the perspectives of 10 central characters. When the school finds out Pete is their father, it is Ashley who unwittingly earns the wrath from Angel and the basketball team. Her brother, Zach, lashes out at Pete for shooting his friend.
