The Hate U Give is a 2017 young adult novel by Angie Thomas. It is Thomas's debut novel, expanded from a short story she wrote in college in reaction to the police shooting of Oscar Grant. The book is narrated by Starr Carter, a 16-year-old black girl from a poor neighborhood who attends an elite private school in a predominantly white, affluent part of the city.
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves be- tween two worlds: the poor neighborhood she lives in and the suburban prep school she attends. That uneasy balance is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend by a police officer. Khalil was unarmed, and soon his death is a national headline. Some call him a thug. Others take to the streets in Khalil's name. Everyone wants to know what really went down that night. Only one person can answer that. But what Starr says could up ending her community — and endanger her life.
