No. 1 New York Times bestseller

"A powerful and important novel." Observer

"No one else who writes like Angie. Phenomenal." The Guardian

From international phenomenon Angie Thomas comes a hard-hitting return to Garden Heights with the story of Maverick Carter, Starr s father, set seventeen years before the events of the award-winning The Hate U Give.

With his King Lord dad in prison and his mom working two jobs, seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter helps the only way he knows how: slinging drugs. Life s not perfect, but he s got everything under control. Until he finds out he s a father...

Suddenly it s not so easy to deal drugs and finish school with a baby dependent on him for everything. So when he s offered the chance to go straight, he takes it. But when King Lord blood runs through your veins, you don t get to just walk away.
