All American Boys by Jason Reynolds, Brendan Kiely

Rashad Butler made the mistake of rummaging in his bag while shopping at a corner store. It lead the police officer guarding the store to beat him. He spent a week recovering in the hospital while his friends and the town, including the second point of view - Quinn, to question their feelings about it and come to grips with racism in their lives. On some level, I think this book did a good job of showing both sides of the issue. I think I liked this even better than The Hate U Give.
