Book Overview

by Paul Volponi (Author)

From critically acclaimed author of Black and White comes a gripping tale of survival and justice in a divided community.

"Writing in an authentic voice, Volponi balances sensitivity and rage."--Booklist
"Noah's story is an important one, and although not an easy book to read, it is recommended."--VOYA

What happens when a bad plan ends up crossing the line?

Noah and his friends go to a predominantly all-white neighborhood with a plan: steal a car, sell it to a chop shop, and make some fast cash. But that never happens. Instead, Noah, a teen father, becomes the victim of a vicious beating that leaves him with a fractured skull. The question is: was the attacker protecting his turf . . . or did he target Noah just because he's Black? Was this a random violent attack or a hate crime?
