Inhalt:An NPR Best Book of the Year * The stunning sequel to the critically acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller Dear Martin. An incarcerated teen writes letters to his best friend about his experiences in the American juvenile justice system. An unflinching look into the tragically 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, Starred Review Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek EAN: penguinrandom
Inhalt: Ein bemerkenswertes Buch! Justyce McAllister gehört zu den Besten seiner Stufe. Er hat eine umwerfende Freundin und jetzt schon einen Studienplatz in Yale. Aber er hat eine dunkle Hautfarbe und deshalb werden ihm eines Abends die Handschellen umgelegt. Das Buch thematisiert den immer noch alltäglichen Rassissmus gegenüber Farbigen in den USA, aber im Grunde nicht nur dort. Eine dicke Leseempfehlung und sicherlich als Klassenlektüre bestens geeignet.

Inhalt:From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dear Martin-which Angie Thomas, the bestselling author of The Hate U Give, called "a must read"-comes a pitch-perfect romance that examines class, privilege, and how a stroke of good luck can change an entire life. Meet Rico: high school senior and afternoon-shift cashier at the Gas 'n' Go, who after school and work races home to take care of her younger brother. Every. Single. Day. When Rico sells a jackpot-winning lotto ticket, she thinks maybe her luck will finally change, but only if she-with some assistance from her popular and wildly rich classmate Zan-can find the ticket holder who hasn't claimed the prize. But what happens when have and have-nots collide? Will this investigative duo unite...or divide? Nic Stone, the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out, creates two unforgettable characters in one hard-hitting story about class, money-both too little and too much-and how you make your own luck in the world. "[A] funny, captivating, and thoughtful tale for young readers about class privilege, class deprivation, and the politics of luck and love." -Ibram X. Kendi, The Atlantic "A delightful, hilarious romance that digs into issues surrounding class. You'll laugh as much as you sigh while reading this novel about luck, love...and how having a little bit of both is more than enough." -Paste Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek EAN: penguinrandom
