- School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2017 January
Copyright 2016 School Library Journal.Gr 8 Upâ After Starr and her childhood friend Khalil, both black, leave a party together, they are pulled over by a white police officer, who kills Khalil. The sole witness to the homicide, Starr must testify before a grand jury that will decide whether to indict the cop, and she's terrified, especially as emotions run high. By turns frightened, discouraged, enraged, and impassioned, Starr is authentically adolescent in her reactions. Inhabiting two vastly different spheresâher poor, predominantly black neighborhood, Garden Heights, where gangs are a fact of life, and her rich, mostly white private schoolâcauses strain, and Thomas perceptively illustrates how the personal is political: Starr is disturbed by the racism of her white friend Hailey, who writes Khalil off as a drug dealer, and Starr's father is torn between his desire to support Garden Heights and his need to move his family to a safer environment. The first-person, present-tense narrative is immediate and intense, and the pacing is strong, with Thomas balancing dramatic scenes of violence and protest with moments of reflection. The characterization is slightly uneven; at times, Starr's friends at school feel thinly fleshed out. However, Starr, her family, and the individuals in their neighborhood are achingly real and lovingly crafted.VERDICT Pair this powerful debut with Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely'sAll American Boys to start a conversation on racism, police brutality, and the Black Lives Matter movement.âMahnaz Dar , School Library Journal
