4.0

This was an amazing book. Told from several character's POV though mainly through fourteen year old Ansel, the scenario of a lynching is played out with Ansel knowing that the accused is innocent. A less harsh way to introduce the topic of lynching as the text is not as graphic as some other examples that I've read. The author gives his experiences and research in the back of the book as well as further suggested reading.
