Told from multiple perspectives, this is the story of Tariq,
gunned down in his own neighborhood after leaving a store. Some people claim he was carrying a gun, some
people say he was unarmed. The media is
having a field day, and it appears that the police believe that Tariq is at
fault and have let the shooter, Jack, go.
Although it isn’t stated the book is clearly inspired by recent events
and many teens have seen or can relate to the type of events in this book. It was gripping and realistic and one I would
recommend to many high school age teens.
