Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can't escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates. Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out.
Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up—way up, sparking the fury of a white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it's Justyce who is under attack.

good to have a conversation about race. this book is about teenagers and might be written for teenagers, meaning that the characters are a bit flat and lack of layers real people should have.

不可否任,这本书虽然只有短短两百多页,但把许多的故事的写了进去,戏剧冲突非常明显。真实感很强,在按照时间线叙述的同时,Jus还把自己不加修饰的所有感情以给马丁路德金写信的形式表达了出来。
