Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes

4.0

---

This is the next addition to my BLM YA list. It’s taking the conversation about police violence and young black people and making it accessible to audiences that aren’t quite ready for the rest of my BLM YA list (e.g. THUG, Dear Martin, etc.). And it was done masterfully. As a reader, I felt like this was, in part, a story about finding compassion in the anger. Not placing blame where it doesn’t belong and coming together to heal. Fabulous novel about the grief and consequences of police violence.
