Winner of the 2018 Waterstones Children's Book Prize 
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

THUG is the story of Starr Carter whose world is split between the violence, drugs and poverty of the mainly black suburbs where she lives, and the affluent, mainly white world of the school she attends. The story gives a real insight into race relations in the USA. A fantastic read which is also short-listed for the Carnegie Children's Book Awards - come to our Wednesday Book Club to hear some more about it.
