Starr Carter is a teenager who lives in two different worlds. At home, she is part of a close-knit community, but at school, she attends a fancy prep school far away. Everything changes one night when Starr witnesses a terrible event: her childhood best friend, Khalil, is shot by a police officer. Khalil was unarmed, and his death quickly becomes a huge news story, causing protests and strong feelings everywhere.
Starr is the only one who knows exactly what happened, but speaking out is incredibly difficult and dangerous. Some people want her to stay silent, while others pressure her to tell her truth. Her decision could affect her family, her friends, and her entire community. This powerful story explores what it means to find your voice and stand up for what is right, even when it's scary and difficult.
