Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas

4.0

Another great book by Angie Thomas! This one is a prequel to her first book, “The Hate U Give.” Concrete Rose follows the life of a teenage Maverick (the patriarch in THUG) who lives in the Garden Heights neighborhood. His father is in prison and his mother is struggling to provide for the family, when Maverick learns that he’s a father to a 3-month old boy named Seven. Maverick battles with how to make money by getting a job at the convenience store or by selling drugs, the more lucrative option.
