The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.\n\nSoon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.\n\nBut what Starr does or does not say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angie Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14329135366257,"sku":"PRH-624","price":355.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/9781406384765.jpg?v=1537688639"},{"product_id":"concrete-rose","title":"Concrete Rose","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angie Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eWalker books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished Date: \u003c\/b\u003e12-Jan-2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages: \u003c\/b\u003e336\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Group: \u003c\/b\u003e14+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Hate U Give\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe son of a drug king, seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter is negotiating life in Garden Heights as he balances school, slinging dope, and working two jobs while his dad is in prison.
