Anger is a Gift, by Mark OshiroRead about another entry on the list.
Treated like a criminal in his own high school, Moss and his friends are subjected to locker searches, attacks, and intimidation from the Oakland Police Department—the same police force that murdered his father as a child. But fighting back is harder than any of them could have imagined. I snagged an advanced copy of this stunning debut and absolutely fell in love with hero Moss.
