Hate by Alan Gibbons

5.0

Another great book from Alan Gibbons. Based on the true story of the murder of teenager Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend for simply being Goths, this adds extra oomph to the story. It is a powerful story of hate crimes and where they lead to, (including homophobia). This book is beautifully written and observed, gives no slick solutions or answers, but shows the terrible consequences of prejudice. Teens will be gripped by the story - a must have for your shelves.
