Description
A bag of chips is all sixteen-year-old Rashad is looking for. Instead, he finds himself in a confrontation with police officer Paul, who mistakes him for a shoplifter and responds to his pleas of innocence with violence. The incident sets off a chain of events that forces Rashad's community to confront the harsh realities of racism and police brutality. As Rashad navigates this difficult situation, he must also contend with the complexities of his own identity and the expectations placed upon him by those around him. This powerful novel explores themes of prejudice, social justice, and the struggles faced by young people from marginalized communities.
