Simply beautiful to read. The Hate U Give is an outstanding debut novel and says more about the contemporary black experience in America than any book I have read for years, fiction or non-fiction. - Alex Wheatle, The Guardian

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. A phenomenal #1 bestseller that became a symbol for a searing moment in the fight for justice in America, The Hate U Give is a heartrending, boldly original, unforgettable chronicle of a vital chapter in our nation's story-and has cemented Angie Thomas's place as one of her generation's most important writers.

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend, Khalil, at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.

Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: What really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.

But what Starr does-or does not-say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
